about

We are thankful for the power of music, dance and community to help us through our grief and share in our joy. This album is a collection of 15 songs that explore hope, gratitude, birth, death, darkness and light through song.

When we first started recording this album in January 2020, we thought that we would record different choirs singing these songs but the pandemic had different plans for us.

We love to hear where these songs have traveled and how you are using these songs. Share with us how these songs land in your heart. Let us know: dnargibrown@gmail.com
