Washington, March 24 (ANI): Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding is set to make musical history - a recording of the ceremony will be available to download within hours of the service finishing.
The ceremony will be released digitally through Decca Records to online retailers including iTunes.
A physical album of the event being held on 29 April at Westminster Abbey will also be released in shops on CD, vinyl and cassette from 5 May.
Multi-Grammy-nominated producer Anna Barry will produce it.
“This is a great honour and an enormous responsibility,” the BBC quoted Barry as saying.
“The wedding means so much to millions of people all over the world - we have to capture every note and every nuance perfectly and have the recording ready within minutes of the end of the ceremony.”
The official album will also include a booklet containing the order of service, readings, vows, hymns and blessings, as well as all the music.
“Thanks to digital technology we will be able to deliver it worldwide almost instantly - it will be the fastest we have ever released an album of this stature,” said David Joseph, chairman of Universal Music UK.
Decca said 1 pounds from each album sold will go to The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry - the princes’ charitable fund.(ANI)
