Summary: Taize Meditation
Comment: Some of Taize's most beautiful and most meditative music. The lovely balance of slower and slightly more lively songs, the tonal quality of the voices and the excellent diction allows for the words of each song to be clearly understood and makes this a "must buy" no matter whether your motive is that you enjoy choral chant as an art-form or just want to relax and be peaceful.

Summary: Soothing Chant
Comment: This Taize cd brings refreshment to me when I hear it. I was in Medjugorje this past Christmas. I ordered the CD because the titles were the same as those sung in Medjugorje. I wasn't disappointed. When I listen to the CD, I am reminded of the peace I experienced in Medjugorje!

Summary: Jubilate
Comment: The Taize meditation CD has many songs sung in Latin, including the popular "Veni Sancte Spiritus". (Parenthetically, an expanded version of this song is on another excellent Taize CD "Taize: Veni Sancte Spiritus".) Each of the tracts is short with no song longer than three-and-a-half minutes. While I can guess at the Latin meanings of the lyrics, I have had to look up translations of a few of the songs. While I enjoy listening to this CD, and have purchased copies to give to others who like the Taize meditaions, it is probably my least favorite of the five CDs presently available.

Summary: inspirational and contemplative
Comment: simple and short but very profound songs, psalms and chants from the western latin/english tradition. great for easy listening or incorporating into personal devotional or meditative prayer. the quality of the recording was not what it could be. although stylistically this would probably more familiar to Catholics i would recommend these psalms and songs for any Christians seeking to recapture more traditional and Scripture based worship venues within the modern context of their daily lives.

Summary: Lasting Water
Comment: A good recording, with strong voices, and harmonies that stir the heart to a range of emotion from delight to power, and peace. The cd comes with lyrics to inspire prayer, or to simply sing along. I am Christian, and play this recording often, and, I suspect, those who are given to things in this world belonging to love and compassion will also welcome this cd into their collection. It is music to happily build a shrine to, and in it lies the directions to a sanctuary in the heart, more peaceful than any gardens can provide.
