I am able on occasion to organise music for my local church (OF). I usually do entrance, offertory, Communion, and recessional hymns. I've seen various opinions on what kind of hymn is appropriate for the offertory and Communion, including Communion-type hymns, seasonal, or Marian. I would be curious to hear your opinions.
I'm especially wondering about Marian - there are a few Latin Marian hymns I love but I'm not sure of the best place to put them given that I usually try to make the entrance and recessional hymns English so the congregation can sing along (they'll only usually sing hymns they're familiar with and never latin so I generally save that for Communion when I'd prefer the congregation to be in silent prayer rather than singing).
Thanks in advance.
