Some couples like to follow custom to the letter, while others wish to add their private stamp or variety on the day’s music. Music has been employed in spiritual rites for millenia and indeed in the Western world the first examples of medieval choral music were performed by friars. In medieval times the improved fourth interval, or ‘Tritone’, which is basic in latest Jazz and favored music, was called the demon’s interval and thought to possess demonic qualities. Of course the playing of this interval at non secular occasions was evaded at any cost and while this isn’t especially a concern, placing a rock and roll band at the altar or singing hymns in a radical style could be considered far offensive and incongruous by guests and rite leaders alike. People’s non secular sensibilities can be particularly delicate so take care! Naturally if you’re having a medieval themed wedding music it is not the best idea to hire a jazz group either!

Other reasons for musical selections might include preferred songs that have been serious to the couple in the relationship or songs that were dear to buddies or relations who couldn’t be there on the day.
