To veer slightly away from the subject of weddings in church, It seems that most of the great masters wrote Masses for choir and orchestra. I've asked a couple of Catholic priests if it would be appropriate to perform a composed Mass as part of a Mass instead of just as a performance. (did that sentence make any sense?). I never got any takers, but has anyone else ever been a part of something like that? I think I've heard of Requiem Masses being performed at a funeral, but I'm thinking more of a regular Mass. Having played what passes for music these days at the Catholic church a few too many times, I would be excited to play some real music and I think it would be a very uplifting experience for the parishoners.
