Chants Of Taize/Come to Worship, Come Th Pray
Product Description Through its history, the Taize Community of France has evolved a unique music style, now recognized worldwide, which combines sixteenth century Chorales and Psalms, liturgical chant and short , simple, repetitive musical phrases with singable melodies, often sung in Latin.The Taize Chants provide an ideal background for prayer and praise &worship. There is an undeniable quality about the Taize music which leads to Gods presence in a very special way. The melodies and lyrics are simple, yet profound and encourage a sense of deep peace and assurance of Gods love. England's Cambridge Jubilate Deo Singers, directed by Maggie Dawn, beautifully sing the Taize worship music with great artistry, love and commitmnt.The woodwind parts on the recording are entirely improvised, an idea for which I am greatly indebted to the work of Jan Barbarek, The Hilliard Ensemble and Manfred Eicher on the album, Officium. Written parts for a variety of instruments are published by Les Presses de Taize. Andy Cross About the Artist The Taize Community, located in a small village in the hills of Burgundy, in the Eastern part of France, is an international ecumenical community of brothers, predominately Protestant, whose prayer, three time a day, is the center of their life. Founded amidst the chaos of the Second World War, Taize became a haven for refugees, especially Jews. The founder, Brother Robert, has impacted young people around the world with his quiet message of prayer, reconciliation and commitment to God.
