Here is the opening movement from the German requiem by Johannes Brahms.

 
I was very glad to read that I picked out a favorite of yours.

I am learning more about my faith everyday by just reading Christian literature, through prayer, most of all I’ve started praying before the blessed sacrament which helped me tremendously. Also, I just learned about some of the newer music coming up through the Catholic church, taize. Very beautiful and very spiritual. The young adults all gather together at the University to pray, sing and have youth rallies with the thought of this new prayer life. It’s wonderful. It’s about staying active in our faith. The young adults are very devoted which is a tremendous help to the church.

The quieting, mystical experience of Taizé prayer​

"It is a time to rest in God, to let the words listened to and sung penetrate one’s being.” So says Brother John, a Taizé monk, in lectures and writings explaining what the service is all about."https://cruxnow.com/faith/2014/12/03/the-quieting-mystical-experience-of-taize-prayer/
 
A friend of mine who is director of music of music at a Catholic church near Atlanta occasionally works with a Taizé community, and is always impressed with their dedication and piety.

Yes! Again it just gives rise and promotes prayer within the young adults. They become more mature within the faith and also in education, I think it’s great. I think it forms close ties among young Catholics and those are outside the faith and then draws them in.

Watch “BE THOU MY VISION – My Favorite Irish Hymn! :)” on YouTube


Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art

High King of Heaven, my victory won
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heav’n’s Sun
Heart of my own heart, whate’er befall
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all

Songwriters: Ian Lynn / Traditional
