Home to the River of Love by the Chants for Peace Project

"Home to the River of Love." consists of 30 simple, rhythmic chants, with accompaniment on harp, flute, percussion, guitar, and sitar. The album was recorded in Ann Arbor, Michigan, by the Chants for Peace Project, a group of 22 singers and instrumentalists.

We chose chants that are easy to learn, that lift the spirit and bring a sense of hope and connection. Singing together about peace, community, and the natural world is an antidote to all the fear and anger in the air these days.

The recording took place in a beautifully resonant sanctuary shared by a Jewish and an Episcopal congregation here in Ann Arbor. It was a wonderful mix of experienced and novice singers, united by our desire to 'be the change' we wish to see in the world, as Gandhi said.
