It's not the first time I've done it, though. I also played Chris Dale's400 for his wedding and also at the reception. Pipe organ and 3-violinsmakes a pretty awesome combination.

PS But check out Orchestra and Gothic on Streetly's site before youmake any rash decisions. Either would be great with Russian Choir. TheCor anglias/Oboe split I can say in all modesty is brilliant (even if theplayer is a goof). Then there is the Hackett Guitar (the Belew Guitar forthat matter, too). Of course for that "Epitaph" moment, you can't go wrongwith Bass Clarinet (Martinge guarantees it will move your bowels at loudvolumes. He must have tried it.), then you might want to consider...
Streetly has done an amazing and laudible job expanding the mellotronlibrary. What a minute! Did I actually compliment Martin? Oh myGod. Honestly, I really didn't mean it!
