Pleased to see that they have chosen the same post-service music as I did when I got married. Unfortunately, the elderly organist in the small Norfolk village was not really up to scratch when it came to Widor's Toccata:

Yes, yes, I know there's another thread for those who couldn't care less, but frankly good luck to the couple and let's enjoy something that no other country in the world could possible emulate. These days, we're crap at most things, but pomp and circumstance we can still do. Don't knock it!

...and Jerusalem on the way in. Still brings a lump to my throat. We always sang this at school at the beginning and end of term.

Widor!

I have a particular weakness for the 32' contre-bombarde

Who really gives a monkeys what the hell they chose? Its their wedding, and absolutely none of our business, as much as that useless money draining organisation, BBC, try to make it.

..and the London Chamber Orchestra will be playing Fantasia on Greensleeves. I had the RPO play this at a concert I organised three years ago. I nearly forgot I had to pay extra for the harpist  :

FFS, Jaime!!

I like music and I like what they have chosen. Is it a crime to share my views on here?

I'm made up they're having Jerusalem, at least they're not worried about upsetting all these bloody foreigners 

[Nickbat]

They will also be playing Elgar's Serenade for Strings:

Frankly, I think it's cynical that TB should carp on about the music when he clearly enjoys playing such music. Oh, yes, Jaime, we can see you at 0:48, though I expect you only wear the bins when you play the violin...

Yes, that's a great tune without doubt. 8-)

A grand set of pipes in the hands and feet of a masterful player is a sound to behold.

Or the full-fat Saint-Saens. 8-)

What happened to the traditional "Fight the Good Fight"?

Pleased you like it, Den.
But it is Jaime (TB) at 0:48, isn't it? Playing for a Spanish orchestra...and hoping we wouldn't notice.

El fiddler Jaime rules!
