Denis Donnelly is one of the beloved co-founders of the Ubuntu Choirs Network and CCLT (Community Choir Leadership Training) up in Victoria, BC. Living Room Choir is an Ubuntu Choir and Kaitie and Sara (and soon Deborah) have all trained with Denis. Kaitie originally learned this song from Emile Hassan Dyer, another Ubuntu Choirs member. Sara learned it directly from Denis in 2023 and taught a modified version (a “Sara arrangement”) to the choir in 2024. You can learn more about Denis and his work on his choir website, Wavelengths: https://wavelengthschoir.ca/
Once the chorus is going, people can have fun riffing over the top of the song.
