This is a choral piece for SAT and Piano written during the Lockdowns of 2020-21. Jo Clarke, who wrote the lyrics, and I have already begun to raise money for mental health charities with each performance and download.
If your choir would like to perform it , please contact me for the score in pdf format. Thank you!
The Joy of Song is dedicated to the memory of Jo Clarke's good friend who took their own life in the lockdown of early 2021. Jo, who wrote the lyrics, and I are raising money with donations and sales of our song on Bandcamp. Performances of this choral piece will support mental health charities, in particular the Exeter branch of The Samaritans. Please purchase this song from Bandcamp (75% of the money will go to The Samaritans). Email me for the score if you wish to perform it with your choir. Thank you.
