#158: Taizé Music Series (part 2 of 3) (with Bro. John Glasenapp) - a podcast by National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM)
from 2021-06-14T11:16:55
This month Ministry Monday is offering a 3-part series about Taizé music. We began the series with reflections by David Anderson, Editor-at-Large for GIA Publications and Director of Music and Liturgy at Ascension Catholic Church in Oak Park, Illinois. If you didn’t listen to that episode, you can tune in later wherever you listen to podcasts, and at ministrymonday.org.
Today's episode features Brother John Glasenapp, a Benedictine monk of Saint Meinrad Archabbey in southern Indiana, where he currently serves as the Director of the newly-formed Saint Meinrad Institute for Sacred Music.
Last week we set the stage for our conversation by sharing a personal experience about both Taizé itself and the music that stems from it. Today offers a musicological and practical analysis of why Taizé music is so effective to unify a worshipping congregation, and how its historical and global roots are deeper than we may realize.
