Did you have someone sing at the church, if so, what did they sing. We have a friend that we want to sing, but the church is telling us it needs to be sacred, but we don't know what songs are classified as sacred songs.
Thanks

I had a woman from the Metropolitan opera. She sang Ave Maria & the irish wedding song.

They sang the responsorial pslam 'You are Mine”
'Ave Maria' for the Presentation of Gifts
'One Hand, One Heart” for the Unity Candle
“The Prayer” (Bochelli/Celine Dion) for Communion

Re: Having a singer at the Church
Did you talk to Larry Tremsky? He should be able to give you a list - I think I read or heard that the office has a tape you can borrow for like $5 or something - you could call and ask.
Is Larry being a problem? I haven't contacted him yet I was going to do it this week. One of our BM's will be singing at the ceremony so we have to pick something too. You can do an Ave maria, Jesu Joy of Man's desiring, hmmm let me think if I can think of anything else - but those are two popular songs

Re: Having a singer at the Church
I am also going through this dilemma right now. One of my BMs has a beautiful voice (she sang the National Anthem at her college graduation at NYIT and I bawled like a baby) I also wanted her to sing a Broadway love sone (One hand, one Heart, Love Changes Everything) and I was told by our church that it has to be church music. I was very upset about it. Some churches are more 'current', mine is not.
