In January of 2007, the Armstrong Brass Quintet released a compact disc featuring excerpts of 39 selections - 39 pieces perfect for a majestic, elegant and sophisticated wedding. Interspersed among well-known wedding pieces (such Pachelbel's Canon, Clarke's Trumpet Voluntary and Beethoven's Ode to Joy) are some lovely tunes which are less common (Fauré's Pavane, Vaughan Williams' Rhosymedre and Satie's haunting Gymnopédie No. 1).
