24 October music list

For those who want to refresh their musical memories or learn some new songs ahead of time, the October music list below is linked to 1) click on title for the online sheet music and audio of each part (S A T B) individually and all together, and 2) a YouTube recording with SATB singing, some with accompaniment and cantor verses. 

All songs are from the 1991 Songs & Prayers from Taizé. All song texts will be printed in the leaflet. Song books (Assembly version, words and SATB music) will be available for use at the service for those who prefer to read music - and available for those who wish to buy their own copy afterwards for $15.

For real-world (not studio) recordings of many Taizé songs in the full liturgical context of a prayer service, tune in to Saturday Prayer from the Church of Reconciliation, streamed Saturday evenings here.
