Old_Joe Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) ...would you have or had played at your wedding or ordination/first Mass? A couple of my friends got married this weekend and their processional song was the theme from Beauty and the Beast. It was instrumental not sung. It made think of what kind of music I would choose for either my wedding or first Mass. Wedding: processional hymn: trumpet voluntary by J.S. Bach Offertory hymn: You are mine. communion hymn: Pange Lingua, Adoro te devote (Godhead here in hiding) meditation: ave maria dedication to the BVM: On this day O beautiful mother closing: haven't decided First Mass: processional hymn: Non nobis, te Deum (from the movie of Henry V) Offertory hymn: let all mortal flesh keep silence communion: Pange Lingua, Adoro te devote (Godhead here in hiding) meditation: Vene Sancte Spiritus (i think it's by taize, it's kind of a round with a cantor singing in english) deciation to the BVM: ave maria closing hymn: O God beyond all praising Edited October 10, 2008 by Old_Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puellapaschalis Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'd whip out my Triplex and hand it to the organist. Or better still, I'd make sure that whoever was organising the music considers the Triplex the most important book ever after Scripture and the Catechism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 We didn't have any music at our wedding. It was at 7am on a Sunday morning, in secret, with the doors to the church locked behind us once we came in with the wedding party. Our priest was expecting trouble. I guess if real marriages are ever outlawed, that's how all weddings will be held in Catholic churches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picchick Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I never really planned my wedding. I am unlike normal girls who have it all figured out at 3 years of age. I do have my first Mass music planned....ok so I was just kidding on that one. I do have some songs I came up with that I would like to have at my wedding whenever that is. It is pretty much the ONLY thing I planned. I would like to have: Processional: Intermezzo Cavalleria Rusticana um, yeah that's all Meg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scardella Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Basically it's going to be all praise and worship, except for the procession. And people are going to pray over us at some point. I love being charismatic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who showed up late were locked out and banging on the door. We'd had so much interference, that our pastor was taking no chances. It had been canceled once before because of his family. I think he was afraid my mother in law would show up with a machine gun or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel's angel Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I've only ever thought about my funeral hymns. You can't be sure you're gonna get married (plus your spouse might have other ideas for hymns) but everyone dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniteAdoremus Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Okay. This is going to be a very difficult post for me, because 1. when I walked home from the bus-stop today I was thinking about the music for my First Vows (I just came back from choir practice) 2. My sister dragged me in here to champion the Graduale Triplex. And I do love the Graduale. I think Gregorian chant is the best thing since before sliced bread. I want it at every mass. But... I've been in a LOT of choirs for a LONG time, and I have loads and loads of friends who are great singers, and I want them to sing at my vows. In harmony. Sorry PP You'll still come and sing, won't you? Introit: Cantique de Jean Racine, Faure Graduale: of the day Alleluia: of the day Offertory: Greater Love Hath No Man, Ireland Communio: of the day during the people's communion Then nothing for a loooooong while Then Like as the Hart, Howells Closing: O Thou the Central Orb, Wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A violin? Something. Gah. Been a long time now. I have a list somewhere. Basically the music director suggested things, hummed bits for me, and I picked one. I was 18 and didn't know a thing about either the Catholic church or music. In the end it all turned out very nice, and everyone said I had great taste... yay for leaving it to the experts I guess.
