Taizé

The "Communauté de Taizé" (English: Community of Taizé) is an interdenominational monastic order in the village of Taizé, Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, France which was founded in 1940 by Frère Roger (Brother Roger, born in Switzerland as Roger Schutz). Within the database, Taizé as an artist refers to the generally unnamed members, choruses and even visitors of the community. Their own first compositions in the sixties were created by Jacques Berthier. Joseph Gelineau later became a major contributor to the music while recent songs have been composed by brothers of the community.
