Six talks to get you thinking, and maybe singing… Cheer up those winter nights with six talks that explore the relationship between music and our relationship with God.
Singing the Lord’s Song with Taizé
Taizé is an ecumenical organisation based in France, well-known for its distinctive form of meditative singing. Taizé chants are characteristically repetitive, using the same words and melody over and over again. We will explore the effect that Taizé chants have on those who sing them in worship, as well as the role of music and memory in Christian worship and formation.
Speakers: Revd Canon Dr Jo Spreadbury & Revd Canon Harriet Neale-Stevens
Jo is the Canon Precentor with responsibility in the Cathedral for worship and music, and Harriet, the Canon Chancellor with responsibility for learning, participation and the arts. Canon Jo leads the monthly Taizé service at the Cathedral on Sunday evenings.
