Name That Tune

I'm terrible at connecting a composer and title with a piece of classical music. Normally, this doesn't impact my life. However it is making it difficult to pick out music for the wedding ceremony.

I got a demo CD from a string quartet wanting my business, but the wedding songs were only 45 seconds long. Long enough for me to think, "Yeah, that sounds familiar" and then promptly forget what I heard. Pachabel? Jesu, Joy of what was that again...?

I called a violist who plays with the local Philharmonic and used to live in my ward. She says she has the same problem--even with music she's just performed. I'm guessing that's something she doesn't talk about at work? (Kind of like my former supervisor who confessed he believed the moon landing was staged).

This reminds me of David Lodge books I read in college, recounting the adventures of professors of English who keep crossing each other's paths. Very fun read for lit majors. In one of the books, the characters play a game called Humiliation, wherein they confess which seminal literary works in their area of specialty they have NOT read.

In spite of years of violin and piano lessons, being sacrament meeting chorister and singing in at least 4 choirs, I confess I don't know how to read music. Which may account for some of my congenital inability to connect composers (other than Andrew Lloyd Webber) with their work.

So...anyone with greater musical gifts want to help me pick some weddin' music?
