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: Eucharistic Acclamations

The three Eucharistic Acclamations (Sanctus, Mystery of Faith, Amen) should be sung by the congregation. Musical settings can alternate between cantor/choir and congregation to facilitate the participation of the assembled guests, many of whom may not be familiar with a through-composed setting. A warning expressed earlier may well be repeated here: Although it is desirable that the Eucharistic Acclamations be highlighted with congregational singing, if a weak response, or no response at all, is to be anticipated from the particular guests assembled, it is much better to have these spoken, avoiding uncomfortably embarrassing moments.

Suggestions:

A Community Mass (Richard Proulx)
Danish Amen Mass (David Kraehenbuhl)
Festival Eucharist (Richard Proulx)
Heritage Mass (Owen Alstott)
Mass of Saint Agnes (B. Andrew Mills)
Missa sanctorum angelorum (Calvert Shenk)
People's Mass (Jan Vermulst)

To be continued next Sunday …
