If you recall me two months ago calling for jOrgan support, trying not 
to sound like a last minute desperado, that was it :-)

I've put up a ogg mixdown here:
http://www.diwic.se/music/Diwic%20-%20Wedding%20March.ogg

Notes about that composition:

 * It's based on the Earlwood organ (the 3b_313 disposition, IIRC).

 * The most difficult thing was the timing: I don't have a pedal board 
so I had to record myself twice (pedals and manuals separately). That 
doesn't give as good synchronisation as if I had been able to record it 
all at the same time. I actually ran it through some midi-to-text 
converter to adjust some of the worst timing mistakes.

 * It's in mono since I only played it back through one speaker in the 
church, and this is just that file converted to ogg format. For the same 
reason, there is (almost?) no reverb - when the audience heard the 
piece, the listening environment provided all the reverb needed.

 * For now, please respect my Copyright on the composition - which 
means, should you want to use it for any purpose, just contact me, and 
we'll work something out. Not because I intend it to make a lot of money 
out of it - I doubt I will, just because it's quite personal to me and 
I'd like to know.

Again thanks to all contributors to jOrgan and FluidSynth that made it 
possible.
