Wedding Music
As the royal nuptials draw near, Nigel Ogden devotes this edition of The Organist Entertains to wedding music, with requests from Radio 2 listeners.
On Friday in Westminster Abbey, the Harrison and Harrison organ installed for the Coronation of King George VI will accompany Kate Middleton's walk down the aisle. To mark the occasion, Nigel Ogden devotes this week's show to wedding music, with requests and stories from Radio 2 listeners. He hears from a famous amateur organist Peter Skellern and Graham Eccles organist at Bangor Cathedral about the pitfalls and delights of playing for someone's 'big day'.
