Music and Magic from the Heart of Our Nature
In which the Cantiamo Girls Choir of Ottawa sings some fabulous African songs for whales. The Whales seem to love it! I’m deeply moved and delighted when I witness or experience heartful exchanges between humans and wild nature.

A few songs have everything to do with my soon-to-be-released children’s magical nature novel. I just came across a version of a song that I’ve played on the harp for a couple of decades now, and which is a variation of “I Hear The Wolf And The Fox And Weasel” (or vice versa), which appears briefly in the book.
I don’t know what I like better about this video–the wonderful double-reed music of bombardes and bassoon, the song in both English and French, or the fun put-together picture of the Weasel, Fox, and Wolf.
For more about my relationship with this song, please see my article, written in 2005 or so, Songline: I Hear The Wolf And The Fox And The Weasel
Enjoy!
