David(Cuny),

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
I was also very surprised when I read your comment.
In Japan, weddings are generally held in the Western church style, and pipe organs are often played.
Ave Maria is also very popular at such times.
However, funerals are held in the Buddhist style, so the focus is on Buddhist monks chanting sutras and no music is played.
So I definitely believed Ave Maria would be played at weddings.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi
