I'm not excited about 100 degrees in a church with no AC, but it's going to be a beautiful Mass.<BR/>Until I faint.<BR/>;)<BR/><BR/>(P.S. Mendelssohn's "Elijah" is my favorite oratorio ever.)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840370708098022422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002745.post-34055559252950222792008-06-04T10:10:00.000-04:002008-06-04T10:10:00.000-04:00I played the Lohengrin-Meets-Secret-Bride and the ...I played the Lohengrin-Meets-Secret-Bride and the Oberon/Titania-Do-The-Nasty marches last Saturday. They were fun. Hadn't played 'em publicly in years. As a freelancer, I'll play whatever is on the list, and both were. No one squawked, and even if they had, it wasn't up to me anyway. I could play it, the bride wanted it, so there you have it. I think the groom left in a mini bus, though, and not a swan. <BR/><BR/>JPJason Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531010709396601925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002745.post-84806357007394907892008-06-03T16:26:00.000-04:002008-06-03T16:26:00.000-04:00Arg,Then the mother of the bride's best bet would ...Arg,<BR/>Then the mother of the bride's best bet would be to have it thrown on a CD and the new son-in-law can pop it in once the he and bridezilla get into the limo en route to the reception.<BR/><BR/>The CD should come with a card signed by the mother-in-law: "Congratulations bride and her jackass!"<BR/><BR/>See: me not mean.

Would you then be depriving said lady of her pleasure while playing Widor's <I>Toccata</I> instead?

Mendelssohn and Wagner are banned by name in the diocesan guidelines for wedding music (said guidelines were promulgated as particular law in 2000).PhiMuAlpha2681https://www.blogger.com/profile/08883388434817321459noreply@blogger.com
