“Taizé (pronounced Tay-zay) is an ecumenical community in Burgundy, France, which is visited each year by tens of thousands of people, including many from the UK. The community uses a distinct chant based music style. Many churches hold special extra services every few weeks using only this style of music, known as Taizé Services. Good recordings of Taizé songs are hard to come by, and new releases infrequent.
Recorded in the city of Coventry UK, this 2 CD set features vocal arrangements of 12 best loved Taizé songs together with meditative prayer songs composed by Eric Wyse (see Composer information below). These 25 songs, which are often taken directly from scripture, are performed both a cappella, and with contemplative accompaniment including recorders, flute, oboe, cello, piano, percussion and pipe organ. Taizé songs are sung predominantly in English with some verses in French and Latin.”
