all prospective wedding couples and provides a wide array of musical choices to reflect
the moods of the various parts of the service.
Whilst the recording has a definite practical use, it could also be
said to contain some of the greatest works ever written, for instance: Wagner’s Meistersinger
Overture, the Air and Hornpipe from Handel’s "Water
Music", Trumpet tunes and Marches by Purcell , and with appropriate Pomp
and Circumstance, Walton’s Crown Imperial and Widor’s famous Toccata.
The famous West Organ at Lancing College Chapel is played by Jeremy Filsell, one of the
foremost English organists and pianists. Recently he received widespread acclaim for his
performances of Howell’s and Steven’s Piano Music.
