  Ahem.  *Stretches fingers*
  
  Preludes/Postludes/Processionals (These are all written for piano only and are new age takes on classical pieces): 
  1.  "Variations on a Theme from Pachelbel's Canon in D Major" (arr. David Lanz)
  2.  "Jesu" (arr. Jim Brickman)
  3.  "Hymn to Joy" (arr. Jeanne Cotter)
  
  Our wedding was hospitality/social justice-oriented:
  Gathering Hymn:  "We Are Called"
  Offetory Hymn:  "For the Life of the World"
  Communion Hymn:  "Now in this Banquet"
  Closing Hymn/Recessional:  "We Are Many Parts" (done faster and with a little bit of a swing compared to how most people sing this song)
  
  
  So, I'm wondering if the music should be organized by theme (for example "Love", "Praise and Worship", "Social Justice", "Hospitality", etc.  If you don't know the song, it's not always easy to know what it's about just by looking at the title.  That way if people are looking for music, they could find the theme that fits with their readings and go from there.
  
  ETA:  The readings could probably be organized the same way.

  
  Waiting to meet the baby broccoli on 5/5/2013!

  Palestrina's Sicut Cervus for Communion--we had this, it is probably my all time favorite piece.
