- Abstract
The choice of musical repertoire for the celebration of the sacrament of marriage has become the subject of more frequent and widespread discussions. Media publications on the subject which provide suggestions for the choice published in the media and promoted cultural solutions for music attest to the existence of a problem and the urgent need to arrive at some form of resolution. In this article, the issue of music and songs at church weddings is presented in three parts: the first clarifies the existing problem; the second shows the cultural factors which have led to the existence of the problem; the third part demonstrates the urgent need to formulate a rightful solution regarding the choice of music within the context of Christian liturgy. Suggestions for this choice put forward in the mass media, together with current cultural trends, do not always advocate appropriate choices. The guidelines given to the bridal couple in order to assist them in their choice of music should always be in keeping with liturgical law. The rules and regulations which govern liturgical law lead to a deeper understanding among the faithful of the true meaning of sacramental rituals and their Christian significance. Consequently, they can never be subject to personal taste alone. Observance of these regulations ensures the Christian authenticity of the liturgy as ordained by Christ and the Christian community, and it enhances the aesthetic aspect; indeed, every bridal couple wishes their nuptial Mass to be beautiful. Consequently, they should be made acquainted with the Church's teaching on liturgical musical settings. Adherence to prescribed norms not only guarantees the essential holiness of the liturgical celebration, but also ensures that their sanctity is not undermined, and allows for inclusive participation in the liturgy.
