Communion Music

[cmotherofpirl]

Our choir always sings sonething appropriate to the theme of the Mass , and then the organist plays softly while we meditate.

I would say no music because at my parish, it's usually some kind of annoying, sappy song or else "Table of Plenty." I'm fine with just an organist, but Table of Plenty with drums, egg shakers and guitars doesn't help me prepare to receive Our Lord in the Eucharist!

I prefer Gregorian chant.

but I'm with Jess on this one. As long as it doesn't smell of elderberries.

i like fast because it makes me feel better

Sorry, couldn't resist. :

I prefer something a bit quieter during communion but I don't mind the fast songs either, however I have a pet peeve. I HATE it when choirs take a song and play it slowly when it's supposed to be a fast song. Drives me to distraction! When this happens you can usually see my hand start motioning for a speed-up, even when I'm no where near the choir (Come one, come on! Let's go geez.)

I chose choir, slow and steady, 'cause I like the Benidictine chants.
