Processional Songs

These suggestions are based on the idea that you should be able to process and sing at the same time. As can be seen from the list below Cantate offers a valuable resource. Another resource well worth looking at is Psallite by the Collegeville group of composers. Though primarily a resource for Sundays the number of settings means that are riches that can be used at other times. For every Sunday it provides a Song of the Week (Entrance), Song of the Word (Psalm) and Song of the Table (Communion). Each song uses a memorable scriptural refrain. The sampler for Year C with song book and CD is called We will follow you, Lord.

Entrance

Come all you people - Gondo (Can)

Come to us - Boyce (Can)

Come let us celebrate - Maraire (Can)

Building a Repertoire

Some Ideas

Explore hymnbooks - if it is thematically arranged (Laudate) look through a section; if not use the thematic index

CDs - much recent music is accompanied by a recording.

Network - with other locals schools or parishes

Music Days - check out what is arranged by your diocesan liturgy commission. Are there specific needs for schools - see about organising a workshop specifically for schools.

Summer Schools - the Society of St Gregory offers an annual Summer School. Check out what the National Network of Pastoral Musicians is offering.
