inTAKT is a German ecumenical association (Verein) for the promotion of new Christian songs for church services (Neues Geistliches Lied, NGL), and of art, culture and musical education.
[1] The name refers to the earlier group TAKT, short for TextAutor/innen- und Komponist/innen-Tagung (Convention of text authors and composers), which was founded in 1947 and took the name in 1997.
It supports hymnwriters, composers, artists, choirs and bands, by workshops, sheet music and coaching.
It is interested in interaction between the generations, beginning with children's and youth groups, and in a singing congregation at church.
[5] Several of the authors' songs have been included in choir books and Christian hymnals, such as the Catholic Gotteslob and the Protestant Evangelisches Gesangbuch.
