I really love this piece. It's very depressing, yet so pretty:
Louis Vierne - Idylle Mélancolique
One of my jobs is timing the music such that we finish at 6:00 p.m., just as the bells start to ring. Despite myself, I'm always thrilled when it happens.
Introit
Accompaniment by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Need I say more?
O God, Beyond All Praising
A mystical air always surrounds the sung psalms at this Mass. Anyone else notice that?
Psalm and Gospel Acclamation
The visiting priest, the diocesan vocations director, during his homily made a few disparaging remarks about the use of Latin in the Mass (you know, the way it was done in the bad old days), so I was especially pleased that this was our offertory song:
Jesu Rex Admirabilis
A new communion psalm. We'll do this one for a few more weeks. I love it!
Communion Psalm - I will praise your Name forever, my King and my God.
The recessional:
Praise My Soul, the King of Heaven

Shortly after I listened to the recordings, I saw a Prince William/Kate getting married ad on TV and it had the tune to O God Beyond All Praising in the background.
Some of the best I've heard so far. Like the mini text intros to each piece.
MCK - someone has good taste.
TH2 - thanks.
