Royal Wedding

I remember watching the Diana/Charles wedding in the early 80s after rising at 4 am! The Swedish royal wedding two days ago was at a more manageable hour--9 am CST. Jonathan listened to my lengthy description, but I want to pass on one tidbit to you.

These ceremonies give me ideas for my work as a church musician. The recessional on Saturday was played by about 20 walking (!) violinists in ethnic costume. They preceded the bride and groom out of the sanctuary with a glorious unison folk song that filled the room with warm and intimate sound. Wow!
