When preparing music for your assembly do you
consider:
| the time of day |
|
the make-up & size of the
assembly at this particular mass
|
|
any recent happenings in the parish, community,
city, state or nation which might be reflected in the
prayer of the assembly (a parishioner dying of cancer,
a flood, civil war, elections)
|
|
the unique resonance of your
worship space
|
| Your music ministers: |
| their unique abilities |
| instrumentation (one instrument, two or more?) |
| vocalists (cantor, small group and/or choir) |
|
presentation (cantor with organ is different from
cantor with piano which is different from cantor with
keyboard which is different from cantor with
guitar…)
|
| where they are located in your worship space |
| the Readings (including Responsorial Psalm) |
| the planned homily, presider input |
| Liturgy Committee recommendations |
|
reflections by other ministers (Eucharistic Ministers,
Readers, Greeters, Ushers, Dancers, Servers, any other
minister involved with this Liturgy)
