4. Some of you had really spooky wedding music
Many of you requested music from your weddings, though some of the pieces took us by surprise! Congratulations to the couples who were married to the gothic grandeur of J. S. Bach s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, the epic horn blasts of Sibelius s
Finlandia, and Fauré s mournful Elégie for solo cello.
5. Classical music is bound up with your most powerful memories
Some of the most commonly-used words when making your requests were linked to memory and nostalgia: You wanted to tell us about the first time you heard a piece, or the piece that made you fall in love with music, or the piece that made you remember a special someone. It s great to hear that the music you love hasn t lost any of its power after all these years.
