How To ChooseMemorial Hymns

The selection of music played at a memorial service can set the tone for the whole event. The deceased's preferences as to whether they would have like the mood to be somber or celebratory should be respected. There are a few tips that may make choosing appropriate funeral hymns a bit easier.

If the deceased has made prior requests as to what they would want played at their service, such wishes take priority over all other considerations. In circumstance where there are no directives of such nature, the planners should contemplate the type of music the one being honored would appreciate most. The service is, after all, meant to be their final farewell.

There are other things that need to be considered along with how how beautiful or touching a hymn may be. Whether a recorded version will be used or whether the piece will be performed by a choir, an individual or the guests is an important factor. The delivery method can greatly affect a song's appropriateness.

Some arrangements are only effectively performed by the trained voices of a choir or talented individual. For a group of voices not used to harmonizing, it is best to choose songs that are of moderate range and are well known. Everyone will not be able to participate if the tune is difficult or unfamiliar.

Consideration should be given to the appropriateness of the words in the songs. The best choices will convey the proper sentiments and be easy to follow. If the words are too complex or the structure is confusing, the attendees may not be able to relate.

Selecting funeral hymns is a matter of balances. It entails weighing what the deceased would have liked and what the attendees will be able to sing. Length, content, speed and mood are also things that will need to be taken into consideration.
