Liturgical Hints & Ideas

During summer Ordinary Time, when many weddings occur, we will review the musical elements of the marriage ceremony. Engaged couples and the congregation also will benefit from a deeper understanding of these principles. Parishes have permission to duplicate for their use the material in these "Liturgical Hints & Ideas" sections.

The Marriage Ceremony: Responsorial Psalm and Gospel Acclamation

The Responsorial Psalm should definitely be sung at every wedding ceremony, most properly by cantor and congregation. In certain circumstances, however, the cantor, soloist or choir alone may sing a response to the first reading, taking care that the text be based on a psalm.

The Gospel Acclamation must be sung … otherwise it is omitted. A familiar (or easily grasped) Alleluia should be used, following the usual procedure, being sung by the cantor and congregation.

Suggestions:

Responsorial Psalms

Psalm 33 (J. Robert Caroll) [GIA Publications]
Psalm 33 (Angelo della Picca) [World Library Publications]
Psalm 34 (Robert Kreutz) [Liturgical Press]
Psalm 34 (Gary Penkala)
Psalm 103 (Robert Kreutz) [Liturgical Press]
Psalm 112 (Theodore Marier) [BACS Publ]
Psalm 145 (Thomas Kuras)
Psalm 145 (Robert Kreutz, Fintan O'Carroll) [Liturgical Press]

Gospel Acclamations

Alleluia in C (Howard Hughes, SM) [GIA Publications]
Gospel Acclamation for Ordinary Time (Gary Penkala)

Those parishes with a singing priest or deacon may want to look at the musical Gospel setting for Weddings in CNP's Book of Sung Gospels – 4th Edition
