Thankfully, some people are still capable of putting
wonderful, unexpected music in their weddings, and its
amazing the difference it makes. A friend of mine who
sings with the Washington Bach Consort got married a
few months ago. He had a Bach cantata with soprano
and string quartet (or maybe quintet) spaced out over
the course of the ceremony, along with a few nice,
simple hymns and two choral pieces which were brief,
interesting, and really a pleasure to sing. No
wedding march, either - no offense to Mendelsohn, but
it was a very nice change... Of course, people should
have whatever music they want at their wedding, but
usually it conflicts with my own personal tastes (big
surprise there).

By the way, thanks for the responses regarding Chicago
music stores. I'll take a look in the Fine Arts
Building, sounds like a good bet...
