The Irish Wedding Album
“The 30 tracks on Sarah’s stunning album cover all genres of wedding songs and music
including: Classical, Irish Traditional, Modern/Contemporary, Sacred Hymns and oldies
alike, providing [couples] with the perfect musical starting point for their important
day.” - Limerick Independent
The Irish Wedding Album…is a guide to how to choose the music for
your wedding ceremony. After 15 years of singing at weddings and over 400 weddings
under her belt, Sarah found that when it came to music for the wedding ceremony,
many couples were unsure where to start. On the CD, all the hymns, songs and instrumental
music are divided up according to the different parts of the ceremony. The album
has 30 tracks and includes all the wedding classics, beautiful Irish and sacred
pieces, and great popular music, all on one CD. The CD has been recorded specifically
in different locations and using different instruments - including pipe and digital
organ, Irish harp, violin, piano and Irish flute - to give the listener a very clear
idea of what their favourite instruments will sound like in a large or small church
setting.
Musicians featured on the album include Harp by Dr. Janet Harbison, Grammy award
winner with the Chieftains; Pipe Organ by Bernadette Kiely, resident organist St
John’s Cathedral; Piano by Dawn Kenny, currently working with U2; Violin by Oonagh
Keogh, The Irish Chamber Orchestra; Digital Organ by Jean O’Brien and Dr. Michael
O’Brien, Irish Flute, Tin Whistle and Uilleann Pipes by Coleman O’Connor and Guitar
by classical guitarist Michael O’Toole.
The Irish Wedding Album is available to download on itunes or to buy on CDBaby and is also available to
buy in Empire Music, O’Connell Street, Limerick.
