TaizÉ
Taizé worship takes place three times a day and includes meditative and sung prayer, Scripture reading, and silence. The singing, often in four-part harmony or in a round, is offered in many languages. Sometimes instruments play an obbligato part as voices sing a chant. The simple yet magnificent music that is repeated over and over again continues on in the heart long after worship has ended.

Taizé is a small village in eastern France where
young adults from all over the world have gathered together since the
early 1950's. They come to pray, to worship, and to seek the meaning of
life in communion with Christ and sisters and brothers of many races and
cultures. The founder and mentor of this ecumenical community is Brother
Roger, a "bearer of trust, reconciliation, and peace." Today
there are over one hundred brothers in the Taizé community from over
twenty different countries. They share their material goods, talents, and
faith together in a celibate life, and lead Bible study groups, prayer
services, and worship for the thousands of young adults who make the
pilgrimage to their community. Common prayer is at the center of their
life together, whether they are at Taizé or travel to share the life of
the poor in India, Africa, or Central America.
