Prayer at Taize is almost entirely sung. Over the course of the
year, numerous different musical forms are used, including hymns,
psalms, long or short responses and litanies sung a capella or
accompanied by the organ, and certain songs from the Orthodox
tradition. Most characteristic is the use of the 'songs of Taize',
such as those presented in this new volume. The songs of Taize were
first developed in the 1970s, as the number of young people from
different countries grew and the need to find a way for all of them
to participate in prayer together became more pressing. They were
first presented to the English-speaking world in the 1980s in Music
from Taize 1 & 2. These two volumes were followed in 1991 by
Songs and Prayers of Taize (published by Mowbray/Continuum), the
first book to give English translations for many of the songs, and
in 1998 by Songs for Prayer. Christe Lux Mundi contains the
principle songs written since then, nearly all composed by brothers
of the Community. The contents do not overlap with the titles
mentioned above. Christe Lux Mundi is available in two editions:
the vocal edition contains, as well as the congregational parts,
all the solo verses in English. The congregational parts on their
own are also available in the assembly edition. Taize songs have
two essential elements, whatever the context in which they are
used. First, the songs are meditative and are intended to help open
a contemplative dimension of prayer. Secondly, they are intended to
allow the participation of everyone.
