Weddings
Then comes the big day, we all know a wedding was never a wedding without
“Here comes the Bride”. The official name of this song is the Bridal Chorus
written by a German composer named Richard Wagner and was initially part
of an Opera. It became a wedding tradition after it was played at Queen
Victoria Daughter’s wedding in 1858.
The tradition still exists but many have opted for changes, resorting to live
bands or instrumentals but of course it lies within the same tone, pitch and
melody of the traditional bridal march.

Funerals
If asked to name a funeral song, and given 5 seconds to answer, what would
you say?
Amazing Grace? Well you aren’t the only one. Amazing Grace, written by
Englishman John Newton, was initially composed for a New Year's Day sermon
in 1733. It eventually became the “face” of funeral sermons and memorials
for public servants such as police officers, firefighters and military
officers. The song is said to be well suited for aligning with emotions such
as grief, oppression, longing, hope and finally peace, which makes it perfect
for these bitter-sweet moments.
