- These are all fine and dandy, but I believe Mr. Crawford had said in his
- original post that the church allows classical music ONLY if it is sacred.
- Of all the pieces suggested it seems to me that only the Bach Sinfonia from
- Cantata 29 might qualify (I'm not familiar with Bach's cantatas but recall
- vaguely that an awful lot of them are based on Biblical verses). Can anyone
- suggest any *sacred* organ music that isn't played to death at weddings?
