Hello Song Leaders!<\/p>\n

Here is a chant from the Taiz\u00e9 Community, a monastic order in Burgundy, France. \u00a0We’ll use it as a lamp-lighting hymn, though there may be other uses for it too.<\/p>\n

Here’s a YouTube recording of it. \u00a0(We’ve reworked the words slightly to remove the male pronouns.) \u00a0https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=r64gcGMNhDE<\/a><\/p>\n

You’ll notice . . . .<\/p>\n

1) It has two parts, high and low. \u00a0Try teaching the lower part first and then adding the higher part.<\/p>\n

2) It sounds lovely in a round. \u00a0After teaching the harmonies, you can break people up into groups for purposes of singing the round. \u00a0You’ll want to study the entrance parts so you can cue folks at the right points.<\/p>\n

3) \u00a0Will perform it in C minor, one step lower than written so that the shruti can accompany (on the silver setting).<\/p>\n

It may help you to look at the sheet music, which is linked here (with the tweaked lyrics we’ll be using).\u00a0The Lord is My Light, Taize<\/a><\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
