Taizé Together, an evening vesper service
Time: Fri 6:00PM
Venue: Portal
Style: Worship
Content Type: participatory music, prayer and silence
Description: This time of quiet reflection and prayer uses music from the Taizé community, with simple, repetitive sing-along melodies accompanied by flute, oboe and guitar. The music is easy to learn and has been used in religious communities around the world. After a busy, high-energy day at the Wild Goose, the vesper service is an opportunity to slow down, enjoy the silence, and join others in meditative song, prayer, and silence. If you are familiar with Taizé music, you are welcome to bring your guitar, flute, violin, or other musical instrument. If you have a copy of the Taizé song book or accompaniment book, please bring that also. Additional copies will be available at the vesper service.
The Oakhurst Taizé Ensemble is made up of Jim Holmes, guitar, Tom Underwood, oboe, Josh Cowan, fiddle, and Leslie Withers, flute. They are music leaders at Oakhurst Baptist Church in Decatur GA., where Josh is Coordinator of Music and Worship Arts, and Taizé music is frequently part of the worship services.
