... I walked down the aisle to The King of Love My Shepherd Is (St. Columba)

I really would love to have that song somewhere when I make my profession (God willing!)

Or Amazing Grace.

I had Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring as the processional at my wedding. Don't remember ever hearing it!

I must say I do not remember a single hymn from my Profession... I know it was beautiful... but I have no idea what they were since it was such an overwhelming day! I particularly liked the Responsorial Psalm... but again... I don't remember it!

It's funny, one of my big things for my Nuptial Mass was the music... I walked down the aisle to The King of Love My Shepherd Is (St. Columba), I had the psalm tone Gloria, chanted Agnus Dei, I Received the Living God as the communion hymn, traditional Mendelssohn for the recessional... it was very important to me...

and I don't remember any of it as it was happening! None! Zippo! I was totally in lala land of adrenaline... too psyched up too listen!

ETA: The Gloria setting was from a Mass by John Lee

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't remember ANY of the music from my big day! I spent hours and hours picking the PERFECT music...don't remember hearing ANY of it.

The Sisters had some gorgeous hymns they use. "Jesu Amor Mi," "Veni Sponsa Christi," "Jesu Ego Amo Te" ... Some of which are one-of-a-kind hymns found in very old hymn books that were being thrown out by various churches. The Mass settings, also, are glorious. First professions and final professions feature different hymns and Mass settings, but they are equally gorgeous.

For my wedding I had Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, Canon in D, Love Divine All Loves Excelling, and I can't remember what else. I prefer traditional hymns and wanted the Latin Mass settings but my cantor didn't know them so I had to compromise. Music is a huge part of my life: I love to sing and have been both a cantor and a choir member (can't now as my motherly duties to my baby come first) and I have very strong opinions about sacred music that come from years of training while I was in the convent. But even though the music was extremely important to me and I wanted it to be as perfect as possible, the most important parts were the Sacraments: both my marriage, and also receiving Jesus for the first time as a married woman, following her God-given vocation. So those are the parts I remember most!

I only found a MIDI & text for [i]O Jesu [/i]here: [url="http://www.chantcd.com/lyrics/o_jesu.htm"]http://www.chantcd.com/lyrics/o_jesu.htm[/url]

Those are beautiful! Unfortunately, they're not the same ones the Sisters used where I was. Same Latin words, but different music. The "Veni Jesu Amor Mi" we sang I did hear one other place (maybe Nashville? Some other community, can't remember which!) but I'm sure the others would be impossible to find anywhere else. The composers were very obscure Italian ones.

[brandelynmarie]

Oh wow...I wish I could hear those melodies. I did go on retreat once there, but I'm sure none of this music was used for the retreat. Still...beautiful, beautiful...bellisimo!

Oh, and I love "Comfort, Comfort Ye My People" they sang that at Mass today, it was gorgeous.

Begin rehearsals for "The Messiah" tomorrow. Performances the last week of Advent. Love it !!

[Cherie]

The Messiah!! My favorite oratorio!

[cmaD2006]

My Choices:

Entrance: I *think* its called "Profeta" or "Tengo que Gritar" ... (the chorus is: tengo que gritar, tengo que anunciar, hay de mi si no lo hago, como escapar de Ti, como no hablar, si Tu voz me quema adentro)

Offertory: Alma Misionera

Communion: Pescador de Hombres

Meditation: Para Siempre (those of you who are friends with me on fb can see me playing it on a video). Or if by that time I write one based on Song of Songs then I'd request to be able to play/sing that.

Recessional Hymn: (I don't know).

I saw The Messiah last year. It was amazing!

[i<3franciscans]

I have really been thinking about it and I think I am going to leave the songs up to somebody else. The Holy Spirit could probably throw something together and plant a seed in their hearts. I would like the surprise.

When I married, I had as the Processional "Trumpet Tune and Air" (Purcell-Clarke), and as the Recessional, Handel's "Largo"

The hymns were 'O Father all Creating' and Psalm No 23, and a friend sang 'I'll walk beside you", during the signing of the Register.

I all these!
---- Leva me aonde os homens necessitan tua palavras, nececistan de força de viver!... onde falta esperança... simplesmente por não saber de ti... De dou meu coração sincero para gritar sem medo...Senhor tenho uma alma missionária...


aiaiaiai... This is from my "missionary period" in South America .....
And also I love these:

and this:

But entering a contemplative community now on a different continent, it for sure will be other songs... But since I have not entered yet, there is so much time to go until vows if I ever go until then...

Sister, you made me laugh out loud!
Before my first profession I was taking so much time to think about what songs I wanted and seeing how they would all fit together well in the Mass, I thought it would be SO memorable! Then one of the other Sisters told me something along the lines of: "You probably won't really remember the music afterwards anyway!" I was amazed and thought "Of course I'll remember the music! Music is really meaningful to me..." Then the day came and afterwards I didn't really remember the music! I mean it was nice and the Sisters sang well but all I could really think about was: Wow I just made profession! I was so happy to have made profession and to be able to have this joy and share it with my sisters. This is the memory that still is with me today!

Isn't this what the programs are for, so you can go back and see what music was used? I'm kind of in the same boat but it was for my baptism/1st Eucharist/ confirmation at the Easter Vigil. There was tons of music of course but I can only remember one song!
