Taize - Wait for the Lord

Music Mondays in Lent will consist of music from the community of Taizé. In the south of Burgundy, France, there is a small village called Taizé. This village, founded over seventy years ago by Brother Roger, is home to a monastic community devoted to prayer and reconciliation. The community is made up of brothers from all the continents and major denominations who gather together three times a day, seven days a week, throughout the year to pray. Taizé-style worship is used in many houses of worship the world over. Taizé is characterized by the use of repetitive prayer-refrains set to simple musical lines. Although repetition in worship is not a new phenomenon or unique to this tradition, the ease with which this song-prayer can convey simple messages from the bible into almost any language is unsurpassed. We are invited to become immersed in this sung prayer each week of our Lenten journey here at Woodlake Lutheran Church.
