Wedding Music Planning Form

    Congratulations on your upcoming nuptial liturgy at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew! You can plan select the music for the liturgy here, using this form.  It is best if you can decide everything all at once and request changes in your communications with the Director of Music (Charles Nolen; charles@cathedralofsaintandrew.org).  With or without this form, you may find it helpful to set up an appointment to discuss the details.
    Note: If you select two or more of these, and depending on your music selections, there may be an additional cost for arranging and writing instrumental parts.  Please consult the Director of Music.

    A Note on Music Selections

    Please listen to the music selections below.  Since these are public videos and mp3s, some links may become obsolete.  You can always search for these with Google or on YouTube.  Please note that music must be suited to liturgy, meaning that it must be prayer, so be sensitive to this in making selections not found on this page.  To be sure, there are some songs with a secular origin that qualify as prayer and will fit into the liturgy, but there are also many more that, good as they may be, should be saved for the reception.
    If you are celebrating a Nuptial Mass (with communion), fill in the next few items. Otherwise, you can skip to "Recessional".
