A second set of 6 Taize pieces to play on your harp. This will continue from the previous class, but is open to new registrants.

Music from Taize is a prayer and a chant, a meditation and a comfort - music for your soul. It mostly features short and repetitive pieces that are very sophisticated musically, and have a million different ways to play the same piece. This Sunday session (Pacific Daylight time) will serve church musicians with no church to play for just now, and anyone else who wants to be inspired by Berthier's marvelous works.

I'll be teaching by rote, by ear, with lead sheets, and by understanding and applying chords. I'm in the process of preparing a book of Taize music for the harp, so you'll get to experiment with my arrangements as well so you do not need any additional books.

However, for even more fun, you may find it advantageous to order the two source books I will be using, "Music from Taize volumes I and II Vocal editions". There are also Instrumental editions for each of these with valuable parts for many different instruments, most of which could be adapted for harp.

Long and McQuade has the nice spiral bound editions of Vol 1 and 2 listed on their website, and if you live near a Long and McQuade store you could pick it up and save yourself the shipping costs. (Great price as well)

The instrumental ones seem only to be available from the publisher, GIA Music.

Not sure if this is for you? - there is plenty of Taize music on Youtube - have a listen! or email me.

6 classes - 12:30 pm Pacific time Sundays

Dates: Sept 20, Oct. 4, 18, Nov 8, 22, Dec.6.
