His music was wildly popular in his time, and it has remained so ever since. His Royal Fireworks Music was written for a grand celebration given by King George I in London in 1749. The Overture works perfectly as a wedding processional, and makes for a very royal beginning to the ceremony! Heard here played by the organ alone, it can also work well with the addition of a trumpet or two. |
