Like a room lit by candles and filled with incense, these Taizé-style songs inspire prayer. Simple and meditative, with easy-to-sing, repeating refrains, they unite Christians of every background, drawing them into a place of peace and worship.

Offering 135 songs for use within and beyond the liturgy, this landmark release inspires self-reflection and meditation for your assembly. Arranged in the unique style of the Taizé community, these songs will both enhance liturgies and help you develop a deeper connection with Christ.

Featuring more than 30 newly composed pieces along with over 100 classic titles from over 35 well-known composers, the songs are easy to sing with repeating refrains that encourage active participation from your congregation. The wide variety of musical styles serves the needs of any parish, and are perfect for Communion, processionals, reconciliation services, ordinations and more!

While most of the songs can be performed a cappella, they are further enhanced through the addition of keyboard or guitar accompaniment. As a special bonus, the preface offers practical suggestions for using the music in a prayer service and even includes an order of service, Scripture readings and sample intercessions. Also, a topical/seasonal index helps the user find appropriate songs for each part of the service.

Everything from quiet chants for centering and meditation to energetic songs of gathering and praise, Hear the Prayers That Rise makes an excellent supplement to faith communities large and small.
