I've played the prelude and fugue in a minor by bach for recessionals..It's a happy song.And the prelude and fugue in e.flat major..but it's pretty long.
for processionals,I mostly get stuck top the trumpet voluntary....But I've played several other voluntaries by stanley.the prealudium in d,major by deitrich buxtehude is good,and the fugue from the prelude, fugue and chaconne is a good processional(The prelude makes a good recessional if  you don't mind it starting on a pedal solo,or some of the movements from the pastorale in g major of bach,or the toccata,adagio and fugue in F. majr)
I've played the fantaisia and fugue in G minor a few times.but most people think it;s a little ..I don't know..'not-happy'If you can find it,my parish likes to stick to polyphony for the propers.

"We believed that after the Council would come a day of sunshine in the history of the Church. But instead there has come a day of clouds and storms, and of darkness ... And how did this come about? We will confide to you the thought that may be, we ourselves admit in free discussion, that may be unfounded, and that is that there has been a power, an adversary power. Let us call him by his name: the devil. It is as if from some mysterious crack, no, it is not mysterious, from some crack the smoke of satan has entered the temple of God."
HH Paul VI June 29 1972,

Ok, so here's my question. My and my boyfriend have begun planning our wedding and there is a really beautiful song called "You Take My Breath Away" by an artist named Eva Cassidy. It is a very solemn and quiet song and the lyrics are perfect for walking down the isle. If I wanted to use this as my song to walk down the isle to, would the Catholic church not allow it? If anyone can shed some light on this mystery it would be awesome.

"I'm back sinners."

“Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ.” - St. Athanasius, AD 373

"It is granted to few to recognize the true Church amid the darkness of so many schisms and heresies, and to fewer still so to love the truth which they have seen as to fly to its embrace." -St. Robert Bellarmine

You need to check this with the organist/music director of your church. They have some discretion in these matters, and some are more lenient than others.
Also, you have a better shot if it is a NO church.

I don't fancy your chances in an SSPX, FSSP, or ICKSP church, Gertrude!

I am not familiar with the song, but from the title, I would highly doubt it is appropriate for the Church.

Perhaps you could shed some light on why you think it is appropriate for singing in a Church.

The list below, I am almost certain I found on Fisheaters... somewhere-It was a while ago though. If I am correct, I'm sure one of the mods can provide a link.
_______________________________________________________________

WEDDING MUSIC

 

        Typically, the Sacrament of Matrimony is conducted in one of three

ways:

 

        (1) the Sacrament alone

        (2) the Sacrament, followed by a low nuptial Mass, either of the day

            or the votive Mass "Pro Sponso et Sponsa"

        (3) the Sacrament, followed by a high nuptial Mass, with Gregorian

            chant, and possibly sacred polyphony for the Ordinary of the Mass

 

        There are four parts to the typical wedding ceremony:  prelude,

processional, interlude, recessional.  Suggestions for organ music that would

be appropriate for each part follow.

 

 

PRELUDE MUSIC - while guests are being seated

 

        Wachet Auf (Sleepers Awake from Cantata 140), by J.S. Bach

        Air on a G String (from the Second Suite, BWV 1068), by J.S. Bach

        Schaefe koennen sicher weiden (Sheep May Safely Graze), by J.S. Bach

 

 

PROCESSIONAL MUSIC - as the wedding party processes in

        Bridal Chorus (from the opera Lohengrin), by Wagner

        Canon in D, by Pachelbel

        Largo from (aria from the opera Xerxes), by Handel

        Where'er You Walk (aria from the opera Semele), by Handel

        Trumpet Tune (Prince of Denmark's March), by Clarke

        Trumpet Tune, by Purcell

        Water Music, by Handel

        Royal Fireworks Music, by Handel

        Sinfonia (from Cantata 156), by J.S. Bach

 

 

INTERLUDE MUSIC - during the ceremony

        Panis Angelicus, by Franck

        Meditation (from the opera Thais) by Massenet,

        Ave Maria, by J.S. Bach

        Ave Maria, by Schubert

        Clair de Lune, by Debussy

        Reverie, by Debussy

        Andante Cantabile, by Tchaikovsky

        Nocturne (from A Midsummer Night's Dream), by Mendelssohn

        Dance of the Blessed Spirits, by Gluck

        Gymnopedie #1, by Satie

 

 

RECESSIONAL MUSIC - as the wedding party recesses out

        Wedding March from a Midsummer Night's Dream by Mendelssohn

        Sinfonia (Arrival of the Queen of Sheba) by Handel

        Trumpet Voluntary, by Stanley

        Alleluja (from the motet Exultate, Jubilate), by Mozart

        Allegro (from Spring, the Four Seasons), by Vivaldi

        And the Glory of the Lord (from the oratorio Messiah), by Handel

_________________________________________________________________________

 

I personally like "Where'er You Walk", "Air on G String", "And the Glory of the Lord", and "Sheep May Safely Graze"--- We're thinking of using "And the Glory of the Lord" as the recessional and "Air on G" for the processional.
