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: Offertory

This time, occuring immediately after the marriage rite and the first prayers for the couple, is ideal for a vocal selection. Organ music, instrumental music or a familiar congregational hymn may also be used, tailoring the choice of music to the time of the liturgical action.

Suggestions:

Vocal Music
Organ Music
  • Allegretto (Felix Mendelssohn)
  • Arioso (J.S. Bach)
  • Hambleton Suite (Tim Knight)
  • Herr Jesu Christ dich zu uns wend (J.S. Bach)

  • Meine Seele erhebt den Herren (J.S. Bach)
