Hi everyone,

I am currently planning my wedding and it will be wedding ceremony outside of the Mass. Based on my perusing of these forums, I may very well be the first person ever to plan a wedding ceremony outside of the mass and want to have all of the musical pieces be sacred polyphony. I might even be the first person to want sacred polyphony for my processional and recessional, period...

I have secured a group who will sing at the wedding, and they have assured me they have enough time to put together whatever ensemble I need of mixed voices. To be safe, though, I'm keeping my suggestions to six part and under (no Spem in Alium at my wedding...) They are very good, but typically perform in concert-type settings, not at Mass, and are asking for my suggestions of pieces.

SO... I have been scouring the web for suggestions for appropriate music and am coming up with very little. My understanding is that I may have a prelude, a processional, and a recessional, plus the Gospel acclamation and responsorial psalm unless I choose to have a soloist (one of the bridesmaids) do the latter two. I am looking for suggestions for each of these pieces and also information on where to find polyphonic settings for the Gospel acclamation and responsorial psalm. It would be lovely to use the traditional introit in a polyphonic setting for the processional, as well, if anybody can point me in the right direction for that.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions!!
