I was fortunate to be part of an EF "Nuptial" Mass at St. Boniface Church in Evansville IN on Saturday July 27. The couple had been planning for more than a year. It was a missa cantata with schola and organ.
The ordo:
Seating of the grandparents: Ave Maria Arcadelt Procession: Prelude to the Te Deum Charpentier Presentation of flowers to the Virgin: Flos Carmeli Introit: Deus Israel Gloria: Missa "cum jubilo" Grad: Uxor tua Alleluia: Mittat vobis Dominus Off: in te speravi (Organ improvised on chant after it was sung) Sanctus and Agnus Dei: Missa "cum jubilo: Comm: Ecce sic benedicetur "Ave Verum' Mozart rec: Toccata Dubois
For the priest ( a dear friend), it was his first EF mass. He really worked hard. A very beautiful liturgy all in all.
