The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton today will feature music composed for the occasion by John Rutter.
Rutter is a British composer, conductor, arranger and record producer specialising in choral music. He has composed the piece ‘This Is The Day That The Lord Hath Made’ for the occasion.
Westminster Abbey commissioned the piece as a wedding gift for the future King and Queen of Britain. It will be sung by the Choir of Westminster Abbey and the Chapel Royal Choir.
Other music planned for the wedding includes Maxwell Davies’ ‘Farewell To Stromness and his ‘Ninth Symphony – Affairs of State’ to be dedicated to The Queen.
Compositions by Elgar, Britten and Vaughan Williams will be played.
Kate will walk down the aisle to Parry’s ‘I Was Glad’, originally composed for Prince William’s great-great-great Grandfather Edward VII in 1902.
