Personalizing the Ceremony Music

October 26th, 2011 @ 2:03 pm by Mrs. Raccoon

I know few of the rules that may or may not exist about making appropriate music selections for a Catholic wedding, but I figured I should have some ideas before meeting in person with the woman who will be playing at our ceremony. I’ve heard she is the music coordinator for the church and also teaches the school’s music classes. It’s a blessing when things just kind of fall into place like that.

A lot of thought went into these, but I haven’t gotten my hopes up in case they won’t work for one reason or another. Get comfy, there are a lot of YouTube videos coming your way!

Possible Processional - “O God Beyond All Praising”

Possible Recessional - “For All The Saints”

Possible Seating of the Mothers - “Hail Mary, Gentle Woman”

Possible Communion - “Deck Thyself, My Soul, With Gladness”

Possible Preludes - “Joy” by George Winston based on “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”

David Nevue’s “Come Thou Fount”

We have the option of piano or organ. What do you think?

I always prefer the piano, but both are beautiful choices, so you can’t go wrong with either one!

I vote piano! But I’m biased–I played for 12 years! And you’ve chosen a lot of really beautiful music. :)
