I thought they only sang Christmas carols there.

Bach's Air on the G String is one of my favorite pieces...

I had an arrangement of it played at my mother's funeral. Also
Samuel
Barber, Rachmaninoff, and Albinoni.

The Albinoni Adagio is also beautiful...

Indeed. My daughter, age ten at the time, requested
Rachmaninoff's
Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini--the melodic interlude from the
middle--because it was one of her and her grandmother's favorite
pieces.
I requested Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings to be played just
before
the pastor spoke. Following the crescendo near the end, there was
nary a
dry eye in the church. That is a most moving piece, and it still
makes me
misty whenever I play it.
