Music

Ceremony Music

Listed below are pieces we recommend for different parts of the ceremony, as played by the musicians from Classic Touch. It's entirely up to you, though, where you want to place them in the ceremony.

These audio files area available in two formats: MP3 and Real Audio (RA). MP3 files sound excellent but are large files (between 1 and 2 MB each); these work best if you have a high bandwith Internet connection, such as DSL or cable. Real Audio files sound good and are much smaller than MP3 files (between 100 and 200 KB), making them more appropriate if you have a dial-up connection.

You probably have an MP3 player on your computer. To listen to Real Audio clips you will need the Real Audio player, which you may already have on your computer. If not, it is available in a free version on the Internet.
