  • Service Music Suitable for Mother's Day



    Mother's Day has caught me by surprise this year - any suggestions on suitable prelude and postlude material? My church still has not added wording "Faith of Our Mothers" to the familiar parternalistic hymn, so that one doesnt fit.</P>

    I can't imagine a prelude or postlude specifically about mothers, but it seems you might have the idea to do a hymn arrangement.</P>


    The Cyberhymnal has a page about mothers - maybe it might be helpful to you.</P>


    You will want to open that link ina new window, asI discovered it is impossibleto navigate back to the Organ Forum (sorry). [8-)]</P>

      I too can't think of anything that is specific for Mothers. But any piece that pays homage to Mary (in that she was the Mother of Jesus) would have a similar intention.

          How about Boellmann's Priere a Notre Mere? []

          Actually, last Sunday our 11am mass was intertwined with the baptism service of two children. As a prelude I played the Andante Cantabile from Widor's Symphony No.4. This is quite a sentimental piece which would perhaps fit well too.

            Last Mother's Day, I improvised before the service on the Abba song, 'Does your mother know'........</P>

              Don't tempt me. I received the Abba piano songbook two Christmases ago from my mother. I might just be tempted to do this...

                Thanks for your suggestions - the Priere a Notre Dame might be just the thing and I did practice it up just a few weeks ago. I'm not hip enough to know the Abba reference.

                  "Sentimental"? Ouch. One of my favourite moments from Widor. Delicious is a better word! [B]</p>

                    Oh Jason, I am sorry for desecrating the Widor work slightly! I'm really rather fond of it though.

                    In the end, mine got Prierea Notre Dame before the service, and Widor's Toccata to finish - I didn't have much time to prepare something different, unfortunately.

                      I forgot to mention that I have an exquisite setting of Salve sancta parens by Henri Nibelle - it would probably fit the bill.</P>

                        Thanks again guys for the suggestions - I used Boellman's (sp?) Priere a Notre Dame for prelude and Gordon Young's Chaconne (after Couperin) as postlude.

                          Wow, Nibelle - a very out-of-the-ordinary composer. His two bigger works for organ are great, but I also have some smaller quieter works by him which are great service material.

                            If you have Nibelle's 'smaller quieter works' you may very well have the collection that contains the Salve sancta parens - it is my favorite in the entire collection.</P>

                              I don't think I have the one you mention -the only oneI haveis from the Les Maitres Contemporains de L'Orgue collections - an Offertoire in D minor.
