Music
of Unity and Peace is the
result of an
unprecedented
collaboration between the
Community and the
international staff of
Deutsche Grammophon /
Universal Music. The
latter offered their
experience and expertise
to produce this album.
The Taizé Community
welcomed this project
with a view to making its
songs known to a wider
audience. Those who have
already taken part in the
international meetings in
Taizé will meet once
again the atmosphere that
touched them. Many others
will discover a
reflection of that
contemplative prayer.
After the bells, familiar
with visitors to
Taizé, we are led into
songs interpreted by a
choir of young adults and
musicians from different
countries, some
recordings made during
the community prayers in
July 2014, and also some
psalms and responses sung
just by the brothers. You
will therefore hear on
some tracks the choral
singing of more than two
and a half thousand
people, whereas other
pieces give a taste of
the intimacy which
envelops prayer in
Taizé. The song
“Let All Who Are
Thirsty Come†is
included for the first
time in a recording.
