1 Choosing Music For Your Wedding
2 Choosing Music For Your Wedding Introduction A church wedding is a liturgical celebration; it is part of the public worship of the Church. It has a structure that has to be observed. Within this structure, there are places where choices have to be made, particularly with regard to the selection of readings and music. These choices need to reflect the solemnity and dignity of the occasion and cannot be determined solely by your tastes and preferences. The fact that they are part of a liturgical celebration means that they have to satisfy certain criteria. In this resource we will outline the structure of the wedding liturgy, describe the places where choices can be made, and discuss the restrictions that apply. We will also discuss working with the celebrant, music ministers and copyright. Dear Couples I offer you this resource as you plan your wedding, particularly the music, so that the Christian emphasis of this ceremony will speak clearly to all those present and inspire both of you to follow Jesus in all aspects of your life together. B J Hickey
3 The Structure of the Rite and the Place of Music The Rite comes in two forms, the structures of which are given below. Rite of Marriage Within Mass Introductory Rite Entrance Processional Gathering Song Sign of the Cross Greeting Penitential Act/Lord have mercy The Collect First Reading Responsorial Psalm Second Reading Gospel Acclamation Gospel Reading Homily Rite of Marriage Introduction Questioning Consent Acclamation Blessing and Exchange of Rings Song of Praise Universal Prayer Liturgy of the Eucharist Offertory Processional Preparation of the Gifts Preface Holy, Holy Eucharistic Prayer Eucharistic Acclamation Great Amen Our Father Nuptial Blessing Sign of Peace Lamb of God Communion Processional Prayer after Communion Concluding Rite Solemn Blessing and Dismissal Signing of Documents Recessional Rite of Marriage Outside Mass Introductory Rite Entrance Processional Gathering Song Sign of the Cross Greeting Opening Prayer First Reading Responsorial Psalm Second Reading Gospel Acclamation Gospel Reading Homily Rite of Marriage Introduction Questioning Consent Acclamation Blessing and Exchange of Rings Song of Praise Universal Prayer Nuptial Blessing Concluding Rite Our Father Solemn Blessing and Dismissal Signing of Documents Recessional Published by: Centre for Liturgy Archdiocese of Perth 28 Marda Way NOLLAMARA WA 6061 Telephone: [08] Fax: [08] Website: The parts of the ceremony marked with a above are the parts where there can be singing or instrumental music. We will consider each of these in the next section.
4 Music for various parts of the Rite Entrance Processional/Gathering Song: The ceremony begins with the Entrance Processional or the Gathering Song. Either an instrumental piece or a song can be used to accompany the bride as she processes to the altar. If an instrumental piece is used, it can be followed by the Gathering Song, which assists people to prepare for worship. Lord, Have Mercy : May be sung. It can be combined with the Penitential Act and the two can be sung together. Responsorial Psalm: Should be sung by a Cantor with the people joining in the response. Gospel Acclamation: Should be sung. It may be omitted if it is not sung. During the Rite of Marriage: The Blessing and Exchange of Rings may be preceded by a sung Acclamation and followed by a Song of Praise. Our Father: May be sung in either form of the rite; the use of the plainchant setting is recommended. Signing of Documents After the Ceremony: Instrumental music can be played and songs can be sung while this is going on. Recessional: When Marriage is celebrated within Mass: The Offertory Procession may be accompanied by a song or by instrumental music. The acclamations before and during the Eucharistic Prayer (Holy, Holy; Eucharistic Acclamation; Great Amen) should be sung. There are many Mass settings that can be used for these acclamations. One that is familiar to the guests should be chosen. When Marriage is celebrated within Mass: The Lamb of God may be sung. It can be taken from the same Mass setting as the acclamations during the Eucharistic prayer. The Communion Processional is sung while people are going to Communion. Accompanies the couple as they leave the church. It may be either a song or an instrumental piece.
5 Choosing suitable music for a Liturgical Celebration It will be necessary to choose songs for some or all of the following: Entrance Processional or Gathering Song, Offertory Processional, Communion Processional, Music during the signing of documents, Recessional. If the wedding is on a Sunday or solemnity, the readings and prayers of the day must be used. The Responsorial Psalm and the Gospel Acclamation should be settings of the texts in the Lectionary. The Responsorial Psalm should not be replaced by some other song. Liturgy of the Eucharist The parts of the Mass should be taken from a well-known Mass setting, so that, as far as possible, the people can join in singing them. Instrumental Music Instrumental music for the Entrance Processional and the Recessional can be joyful and lively. Instrumental music at the Presentation of the Gifts or during the signing of documents should be more restrained. Instrumental renditions of popular songs or pieces from operas are not suitable. Recorded Music The use of recorded music should be avoided. Secular Songs The words of the songs that are chosen need to reflect the values and beliefs of the Church. Very few popular love songs meet this criterion. Such songs can be played at the wedding reception, but should not be part of the wedding ceremony. Working with the Music Ministers There is a range of possibilities regarding the musicians you choose for the wedding. They can range from a solo organist to an organist and cantor to a full choir. You will need to meet with the organist, cantor or choir director well before the wedding to choose the music. If necessary, they will be able to make suggestions regarding appropriate pieces of music and give you a selection to choose from. They will also be able to advise you on copyright matters. Copyright If you decide to produce a wedding booklet, you need to observe the requirements of the law regarding copyright. The texts of the Mass and wedding service are copyright, and this should be acknowledged in the booklet. If you want to reproduce the words of the songs, you may need to obtain a license to do so. The music ministers will advise you on where and how to apply for a copyright license. Alternatively, contact Word of Life International.
