Composed by Jacques Berthier for the Taizé Community, "Per crucem" is a meditative six-part vocal canon centered on Christ's resurrection. Characterized by repeating harmonies and optional instrumental accompaniment (gongs, bordun lyres), its cyclical structure fosters contemplative prayer. Berthier's minimalist approach, using Latin texts and accessible melodies, revolutionized ecumenical worship by enabling communal participation across languages and musical skill levels.
