Christian meditation music

Christian meditation music

Since the term New Age music meets with disapproval among some Christians,[1] the expression Christian meditation music is sometimes used[2] to describe similar music produced by members of the Christian faith community. In the same way as New Age music has never been a well-defined genre, so too a broad range of contemplative styles of music have come to be associated with Christian meditation. The best known is that of the Taizé Community, but other artists producing Christian meditation music include Margaret Rizza[3] and Cyprian Consiglio.[4]
