Did you know that two of the world’s greatest composers had their 325th birthdays in 2010? And they both wrote lots of great wedding music? Well, they may not have written it to be used as wedding music, but we’ve since put it to good use!
Back in March, the world celebrated Johann Sebastian Bach’s birthday. But a month earlier was Georg Frideric Handel’s birthday. I’m finally getting around to a much-belated birthday recognition for him.
Like Bach, Handel’s music remains popular today. One of his works is recognized by almost everyone: his famous and loved Hallelujah chorus from the oratorio “Messiah”, which itself is also extremely well-known, with performances of it heard regularly, especially during the Christmas holiday period.

Are you looking for unique, truly memorable ceremony wedding songs? Music that you won’t have to worry about your guests hearing at other weddings?
If so, you’re probably already trying to avoid overused music. I don’t need to remind you about how overused certain pieces are—you can be certain your guests will hear those overused pieces at almost every wedding they attend before and after yours. You may still be looking for music ideas to replace the overused choices.
If you’re worried about choosing classical music or maybe even a little intimidated, remember the goal isn’t to select music that shows how clever or musically knowledgeable you are. The goal is simply to have ceremony music that expresses your great joy in just the way you’d like it expressed. To have music that reflects you, that is uniquely yours!
In this article, I’ll suggest ceremony wedding songs that are very appropriate for churches, but just aren’t all that well known. Be assured that they’re not pieces that are radical or “out there”, that might cause your guests to cringe, or that your church will question their appropriateness. [Read the full article…]
