An Elegant Touch of Strings
THE CATHOLIC MASS
We have performed over a thousand Catholic masses and have collected some very nice music which is appropriate for a full or partial mass. Here are some standards for your Catholic Wedding Mass that may be requested although not all masses request music.
Your procession: Traditionally a song for the mothers’ entrances, which also includes the grandparents and sponsors, if appropriate, followed by a second song for the bridesmaids and then the special song for the bride, traditionally The Bridal March but can be substituted as well. If you need a suggestion then let me know as we have a very nice collection appropriate for each of these facets.
Responsorial psalm: Between the first and second readings
Gospel acclamation: Celtic Alleluia
Preparation of Gifts: Traditionally One Bread One Body or can be a nice classical song such as the Panis Angelicus or Arioso by Bach.
During the Eucharistic prayer: Holy, Holy, Holy
Memorial acclamation: named the same
Great Amen: named the same
Breaking of the bread: Jesus Lamb of God
Communion: One Bread One Body or a favorite classical song such as Air on the G String, Ave Maria, Largo by Handel
Unity Candle: Perhaps half of the ceremonies do a unity candle, often the Ave Maria is used and then the flowers are delivered to the Virgin Mary with the same song since it’s a rather short celebration
Flowers to the Virgin Mary: Ave Maria, Schubert
Recessional: Traditionally the Wedding March or another nice classical selection such as Hornpipe by Handel
