Most of today's to-be-weds are at a loss to name the classical melodies they love, leaving brides and grooms to spend frustrating hours sorting through music they don't know.
Beyond "Here Comes the Bride," this ultimate collection of ceremony music provides couples with the most comprehensive set of preludes, processionals, interludes and recessionals performed by the world's most famed classical musicians.
The list includes favorite musical selections of The Knot's Editor in Chief Carley Roney, from classic tunes to surprising songs that make a ceremony personal and memorable.
Bach's "Bist du bei mir" (featuring E. Power Biggs) Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" (featuring Yo-Yo Ma, the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Ton Koopman) Haydn's "Serenade" from String Quartet in F Major, Op.
Also included in "The Knot" CD are detailed tips for making ceremonial music selections -- from choosing an exciting prelude that entertains guests as they wait for the ceremony to begin, to making the most of the processional with a march that is as touching as it is dignified, to selecting interludes that heighten the beauty and meaning of the most important moments in the ceremony.
The liner notes include a tear-out worksheet to keep track of your selections that doubles as a wedding day scrapbook memento.
"Couples constantly tell us how painful the process of picking out music for their ceremony is," said Roney.
"We're thrilled to collaborate with Sony Classical to release a one-disc solution for couples that features the most beautiful performances of classic wedding songs by the world's top musical artists."
