If you click on the title of this post, you'll find yourself watching me on YouTube, in St. Paul's Chapel in NYC, doing what I like best: helping people to sing about the most important things. The video is from the Music That Makes Community Conference a few weeks ago, and shows about forty people in a chant called Open My Heart. It's the kind of chant that helps you to open your heart. I only know this because the tune was given to me in the middle of a very contentious meeting of the Episcopal Church, where I taught it to about a thousand people who were trying to decide whether or not to consecrate Gene Robinson a bishop. I felt the energy of that room completely shift to a better place in less than two minutes, and I'm not the only one. The video is 4 minutes long, and comes to us courtesy of the All Saints Company. Thanks Daniel.
Enjoy the weekend.
Great to see and hear you Ana.

Hi Ana,
ReplyDeleteI was excited to hear about the new CD. I loved watching and listening to this. There's nothing like people making music.
You were right about chanting everyday. I chant driving to work through Nisqually Delta. It changes the day. That the delta is beautiful in any season probably helps. Synergy.
Thanks,
Kate
