My name is Niamh O’Driscoll and I am a Soloist with many years’ experience singing in churches all around Co. Sligo and beyond.
Throughout the years, I have built up a repertoire of liturgical music, both traditional and modern. Through my work in church music, I have a good knowledge of which hymns are appropriate for different parts of the Mass and I can advise you on your selection of hymns and music.
I have chosen a selection of hymns that are suitable for a funeral Mass. However, this list is not exhaustive – if you have any particular favourite hymn or an instrumental piece of music (from traditional slow airs to classical pieces) that you would like included please ask and I will do my best to honour your request.
My repertoire is not limited to liturgical music-if there is a favourite song that you would like included as a tribute please ask and I will do my best to fit it in at a suitable point in the Mass.
I can also include the sung Parts of the Mass – Kyrie; Gospel Acclamation; Holy, Holy; Acclamation of Faith; Amen; Lamb of God.
I always work with experienced church musicians who tailor their accompaniment to suit the hymn choices and to complement my voice.
I sincerely hope that I can help you choose music that will provide comfort and support in your time of sadness.
