Music for Your Nuptial Mass
or Celebration of the Sacrament of Marriage Outside of Mass
You want the music for your marriage ceremony to be the best
it can be. The purpose of music chosen for the liturgy should be to help people
pray and express their faith. When choosing music, use these two questions as a
guide: What message is being communicated? Is the music aiding worship?
Selecting music for your marriage ceremony can be a trying task, so the purpose
of this page is to help make it enjoyable and perhaps a little easier. The works
suggested here are examples of music of good quality suitable for your nuptial
ceremony. This listing is by no means exhaustive. You may want to check with the
musicians at your church for other suggestions. I am Director of Music at St.
Rita Catholic Church in Alexandria, Louisiana.
Listening to recording of these selections affords the bride the luxury of
customizing her ceremony by choosing the selections she prefers. Check out the
CD's I've listed in the Discography.
