Carefully The Christian wedding is a service of worship. The music selected should be appropriate to Christian worship in University Christian Church. Only University Christian Church staff organists will play for weddings. This provides a musician familiar with our Church and our instruments. All music is subject to approval by the staff organist, in cooperation with the bride.
Any piece of music composed for pipe organs is traditionally sacred music.
Generally discouraged are song transcriptions, orchestral adaptations and piano music. The vocal soloist should be competent to sing basic vocal literature represented by such composers as Bach, Handel, Brahms, Thiman, Peeters and Lovelace. Questions of vocal competence are subject to the judgment of the staff organists, and University Christian Church employs several staff soloists who may be contacted by the organist at the request of the bride. Vocal music performed during the wedding service should enhance the worship experience. Likewise, some contemporary Christian music is not the style used here at the Church and cannot be used for weddings.
