Music for the Preparation of Gifts: __________________________________________
Instrumental music works well here as it is a relatively short period of time. If you would like “Ave Maria” somewhere in the Liturgy, this is a good slot for it. Any other short solo selected by the cantor would also be appropriate here. Some other suggestions are: Pie Jesu, Panis Angelicus, Prayer of St. Francis.

Irish Music: The following Gaelic tunes are in the hymnal -
560 Lord of All Hopefulness
631 The King of Love My Shepherd Is
754 Praise and Thanksgiving (same tune as Morning Has Broken)
768 No Light at the Window (text is about the Annunciation; tune useful)

868 Go, Silent Friend (as the Song of Farewell)
Irish Reels could be used appropriately during the prelude, preparation of gifts or at the end.
Spanish Music:
822 I Am the Bread of Life also has Spanish verses. This song is appropriate for communion but also works as the opening or closing song.
Other bi-lingual communion songs that could be used are –
678 Lord, When You Came/Pescador de Hombres
811 Pan de Vida
Amen, El Cuerpo
