Music at All Saints'
"This recording presents worship music in the style of Taizé as it is currently offered at All Saints' Church. We have "busy" souls. The liturgy that has developed around the Taizé community is primarily for the worship of God, but it is also meant to quiet the soul, so that we may have a deep quiet grow in our hearts. Then we may be still and be at peace in the Presence of God." Meditation and Prayer in the style of Taizé
Friday, October 19, 2007 This worship tradition began many years ago in the ecumenical French monastic community called Taizé. Held at All Saints’ in the darkened, richly resonant space of our beautiful Church, where candle light and the parish icon of Christ create a warm and intimate resting place, our Taizé services provide an uncomplicated framework for quiet meditation, reflection, readings and music. There is no sermon, and no celebration of the Lord’s Supper during a Taizé service. The experience finds its true meaning in the active participation of all assembled by focusing and deepening our faith through the power of prayer. Therefore, all are encouraged to participate as the Spirit moves them, whether that be in song, prayer, or quiet meditation. Many of our modern efforts to satisfy personal needs involve seeking an endless array of entertainments. We have “busy” souls. The liturgy that has developed around the Taizé community is primarily for the worship of God, but it is also meant to quiet the soul. This quietness does not happen at once, but gradually during the worship. There is repetition in the words of the music, there are periods of silence, and the readings are read slowly — all so that a deep quiet may grow in our hearts. Then we may be still and be at peace in the Presence of God. Ample free parking is available in public lots located directly across Santa Monica Boulevard from the parish. All Saints' Church is located at 504 N. Camden Drive, at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard, in Beverly Hills, California 90210. For more information, contact:
