You’re welcome to PM me anytime.But you’re only 21. :yeah_me: It is a well-known saying that when older folks want to learn something technical, just ask a teenager or our grandchildren. How true. I hope you don’t mind if I keep your hotline number.Thanks again!
The Tecum Principium gives me the chills. Beautiful. Thanks for posting.
Ahhhhh . . . thank you. I do that a lot. I think my brain and fingers don’t talk to each other.
Argh, you caught me.We’re both big fans of Ensemble Organum.

Does that mean you will be allowed to go?While we’re on the subject of favorite Latin hymns, maybe you folks can help me.
My daughter and fiance (hers not mine) have asked me to prepare their wedding liturgy. EF is out of the question. He’s Opus Dei raised and educated, graduate of Opus Dei university, etc.
However, he’s very comfortable at a well planned Ordinary Form liturgy. She’s very happy with the OF, but loves good Latin music. However, she’s Franciscan born and raised. Gregorian chant is not part of her experience. She has rarely heard it, since our home parish is Capuchin-Franciscan run and they ban Gregorian chant from everything. They use Latin, but hymns, not Gregorian. The kids that go to their school have never heard it, maybe on TV.
Since both are very open to good Latin music, I’d like to have some Latin hymns appropriate for a wedding. The parts of the mass are going to be plain chant. The presider is a Capuchin-Franciscan cardinal and the concelebrants are 16 Franciscans, three bishops, five Opus Dei priests, a Jesuit, two Dominicans and a secular priest.
Any hymns that you folks like for a wedding? All suggestions are welcome. I can then sort through it. The Gospel is going to be Joseph’s dream, "Do not be afraid to take Mary for your wife . . . "
The first reading is the vocation of Abraham and Sarah "I will make you the father of many nations . . . " The second reading is Paul’s "marriage is like Christ’s love for the Church . . . "
The theme is “Marriage is an act of faith”
Suggestions?
If you have some recordings that I can listen to, that’s would be awesome. But they have to be online, because we’re not allowed to have CD players.
If you know of a beautiful Latin OF mass that has no Gregorian chant, I’d like to hear it. However, the words have to match the words of the New Roman missal, letter by letter. In this diocese, not musical renditions of the mass that are not exactly like the words in the Roman missal are allowed.
Thanks all.
Fraternally,

I’ll take a look around.Which version?The Tecum Principium gives me the chills. Beautiful. Thanks for posting.
If you want to complicate things further, it is also spelled as Exsultet, with an s.
The Roman and the Gregorian.Which version?
We could do a little comparison here. Tecum principium as sung in Old Roman chant, Gregorian chant, and Ambrosian chant. The similarity between Old Roman and Gregorian are to be expected, as both were the chant traditions of the Roman Church (with ‘Old Roman’ being most likely the original chant tradition and the ‘Gregorian’ being the hybrid of Gallican and Roman chants).
Since Christmas is on its way, have you heard:Argh, you caught me.
Thanks! I haven’t actually.
Oh, I don’t know. This wedding is April 6, Mercy Sunday. An appropriate day to get married . . . especially for the groom.Does that mean you will be allowed to go?
I’ll ask around tomorrow.
Who said that? 
There must be, but I’ll be darn if I have found one. The Ave Maria is one of them for sure.Is there any hymn that commemorates the Wedding at Cana?
Congratulations to her and sympathies to him. He’s not lived with her yet. I did, for 23 years. :coolinoff:
Sure . . . make our lives easier, won’t you.If you want to complicate things further, it is also spelled as Exsultet, with an s.
Here’s a very nice version of it as well
**Lyrics: **
Ave, ave verum corpus
natum de Maria Virgine
vere passum, immolatum
in cruce pro homine,
cujus latus perforatum
unda fluxit et sanguine.
Esto nobis praegustatum,
in mortis examine,
in mortis examine.
Hail,true body
born of the Virgin Mary,
Who truly suffered, sacrificed
on the Cross for man,
Whose pierced side overflowed
with water and blood,
Be for us a foretaste
In the test of death.
In the test of death.
Except these are Italian, rather than Latin I think.
Both are in Latin. Here are the texts from the booklet:
Lovely, thanks.
