Ave Maria was written by Franz Schubert in 1825 as the sixth song in his song cycle based on Walter Scott?s poem The Lady of the Lake. It is perhaps the best known of all his melodies, adapted for piano by Franz Liszt, and for orchestra many times since. It is often sung with the Latin lyrics of the Catholic hymn of the same name and has been heard everywhere from the Disney movie Fantasia to the funeral of J.F. Kennedy.

The Bridal March was written by Richard Wagner in 1850, scored for orchestra and chorus, and opening the third act of his opera, Lohingren. It is best known in the English-speaking world as "Here Comes the Bride". Queen Victoria?s daughter used the music for her marriage in 1858, and its popularity has endured ever since.

The Prince of Denmark?s March is better known nowadays as the Trumpet Voluntary and is often used in wedding ceremonies. It was in fact written for organ, with the melody played on the"trumpet stop". Written around 1700, for many years this piece was mistakenly attributed to Henry Purcell. Only recently has it been established that the composer was Jeremiah Clarke, organist at St Paul?s Cathedral. It is somewhat ironic that this composer of a wedding mainstay was himself a victim of unrequited love. He consequently shot himself in the cathedral graveyard.

Felix Mendelssohn?s Wedding March was originally written in 1842 as incidental music to Shakespeare?s famousplay, Midsummer Night?s Dream. When Queen Victoria?s daughter used the music for her marriage in 1858, it became instantly popular and has remained a wedding favourite ever since.

This beloved contemporary song by BRENDAN GRAHAM and ROLF LOVLAND is arranged as an instrumental duet (for CELLO solo with PIANO accompaniment). The beautiful, lyrical style of this instrumental piece creates a peaceful, endearing atmosphere. The audio sample begins in measure 14 at the beginning of the chorus.

This arrangement is written in the key of C major. The range for the CELLO is from the second G below middle C to the first D above (G2 to D4).
