Songs of Taize 2 CD

The popular Songs of Taize series contains songs from the Taize Community. The music that has come out of Taize is contemplative in nature, with simple, repeated chorale-like refrains.

These songs can be sung many times, creating powerful and worshipful effect, often growing in intensity. Instrumental parts, improvisational in style, can weave in and out and there are often parts for solo singers, which are either sung as verses separate from the refrain or integrated into the refrain. The chants (as they are often called) of Taize are in many languages, reflecting the nature of the community. 

On this recording, English, French and Latin are the languages used.
