a simple, potent song which comes from Thich Nhat Hanh's Plum Village community. 

Arranged, performed + recorded by Britta GreenViolet, 2022.

I Am Remembering (Plum Village)

This a new simple and beautiful layer song from Karisha Longaker of MaMuse. This hasn't been released on any of their studio albums and is an easy, delicious one to teach in community singing groups of all sizes and levels of experience. It is arranged here in 5 parts for Wholehearted Chorus, with one or two audible additional parts that can be added by soloists or additional divisions of the chorus. 

Original song by Karisha Longaker. Oh River is included in this song library with permission for the purposes of oral tradition singing and teaching. If singing this song for performance or recording for profit, you must get permission from and pay royalties to the composer.

Recorded by Lisa G. Littlebird, with base arrangement track from Karisha Longaker.

An absolute favorite in my song circles and in my choir. The harmonies are hauntingly beautiful and easy enough to learn. It's very satisfying for everyone once they get all of the parts.

Evening Rise - All Parts - Key of B flat

No more holding on
Now I can flow like a river
No more holding on
Let go, surrender and flow

Ancestor Song

Oh Debbie Nargi-Brown has done it again. Sharing this song in community holds transformative powers... I find again and again Debbie's songwriting has a particular knack for validating and embracing our shadows while still luring us back into the light. This was a joy to record with Debbie and my Wholehearted Chorus in January, 2020. Enjoy!

Part I
What if what we are doing right now
Ripples out beyond what the eye can see?

Part II
What is this step a part of that's bigger than me?
Bigger than me, bigger than me

Part III
What is happening through me?
Happening, happening, happening through me?
