I am in need of recommendations for a beautiful sacred piece that is appropriate for a Wedding Processional.

I have the issue of loving a piece and then discovering it is for a Requiem Mass.

Is really, absolutely loved Versa es in Luctum by Lobo but, for obvious reasons, I am not able to use this piece.

So, if you know of any pieces that can be described as hauntingly beautiful but, not explicitly about death and mourning, and are appropriate for a Wedding Procession I would greatly appreciate the recommendation.

How about the biggest of the biggest Catholic guns, Palestrina?
I have heard “Sic Cervus” on more than one occasion.

 
Are you sure you mean medieval?
Cause there’s not much “medieval sacred pieces” written down.
Maybe a better term would be “early music”, 'renaissance music" or just sacred polyphony?

I love medieval music! There is a site called the “Texas Early Music Project” where you can get access to various pieces. The one set I found is called “Sacred: Music of the Divine from Medieval to Baroque”. It has samples you can listen to before you decide to buy the it on CD (I think it’s CD, they mention shipping charges) for $21. I might have to buy it too.

I already own a vinyl record of "Jaye Consort - Medieval Music) that I bought in the 1990s when I was in college. That has various songs, mostly secular, but does have a weird but pretty piece called “Song of the [Donkey]” which was sung around Christmas/Epiphany when they did a procession with a girl on a donkey holding a baby going down the nave toward the altar before they held a Mass. It’s done in medieval French.

Well, I hope this information is useful. 🙂
