A compilation of history's most celebrated organ music which also happens to be popular at weddings. Insert notes for the disc contain a useful tabulation of the tracks into processionals, recessionals and 'signing music'.

Includes Lemare's 'Gavotte à la Cour', Sammartini's 'Canto Amoroso', Schubert's 'Ave Maria', Handel's 'Hallelujah Chorus', 'Overture and The Rejoicing from Fireworks Music'; Wagner's 'Prelude to Act III 'and 'Bridal Music ' from 'Lohengrin', Mendelssohn's 'Wedding March 'from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream ' and much more.

“Heywood's technique is immaculate, his projection of the music positively three-dimensional, and his obvious enjoyment of the task radiates through the notes, catching up the listener and carrying us along the way.”

— Organist's Review, UK

“Oh that every church had as good an organ as St. Mary's, and that every parish organist had a technique like Heywood's!”

— One Voice

“delightful listening (even if you're not contemplating matrimony)”

— Bruce Steele, Organo Pleno
