About this release

"I Will"
I want to
Music for the wedding ceremony
Jan Lehtola organ
Jan Lehtola has collected most of the organ works composed for Finnish church weddings on his new album "I Will". Kuula's and Melartin's compositions, one of which is stage music and the other a piano composition, have become permanent favorites. These have been overshadowed by songs written by numerous composers for their own or friends' weddings. The purpose of this album is to correct the situation and help wedding couples find new and personal alternatives alongside the traditional works.
Lehtola has played all the songs on the recording in their entirety without abridgements, although many of them are specifically heard as abbreviated versions. Toivo Kuula's Wedding March and Erkki Melart's Jubilee March can be heard on the disc arranged by Jan Lehtola. Sulasol also publishes all the works on the album as a sheet music book for the use of organists and wedding couples.

Reviews

  • Lehtola soittaa Helsingin Paavalin kirkon urkuja suurellisesti ja kaikua on tarttunut äänitykseen kiitettävästi. Levy ei silti jää vain kuuntelunautinnoksi, vaan levyprojekti on kokonaisuudessaan iso kulttuuriteko ja hyödyke tuleville hääpareille ja kanttoreille.
