Wedding Music

Because the wedding service is an act of worship, music for the wedding should be sacred and appropriate for formal liturgical worship. Below you can find sample recordings of possible chocies of wedding music.

The Associate Organist of Fourth Presbyterian Church will assist the couple in choosing appropriate music for their service. Vocal soloists are normally members of the Fourth Presbyterian Church choir. The organist can make arrangements for such soloists and other instrumentalists if requested. (An additional fee will be charged for soloists and instrumentalists.) Guest instrumentalists and soloists must submit a sample tape or CD to the Organist at least one month prior to the wedding or arrange for a rehearsal.
