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: Communion

During Communion a variety of music can be effective, including vocal, choral, organ or instrumental. For the sake of variety, two similar pieces should not be used in succession (e.g. two vocal solos). The congregation may sing a song after the Communion rite, provided it is familiar and appropriate to the occasion.
