I've posted music before from the Taize Community. Taize is a non-denominational monastic community founded by a Swiss Reformed pastor named Brother Roger during World War II. Since then, many young men from Protestant, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox backgrounds have taken vows of celibacy and poverty so they might devoted to Jesus Christ. Some young protestants, myself included, have been touched by how Taize manages to re-introduce Catholic and Eastern Orthodox music and spirituality to the protestant world. For others, music from Taize remains too Catholic for comfort.
In the hopes promoting the value of ancient liturgical practices, I submit this clip of a sung/chanted version of The Lord's Prayer. The video was taken during Brother Roger's funeral mass.
