Songs for Singing Groups and Choirs

This collection of songs is created for people living with dementia who enjoy singing in a choir or singing group, or with family, friends or carers.

The collection includes a new song ‘I Am The Song’ written by singer/songwriter Boo Hewerdine and recorded with award-winning vocalist Hannah Rarity, percussionist/drummer Iain Sandilands and members of Let’s Sing who are part of our dementia inclusive singing network.

It also includes Rise Up and Travel These Ways written by songwriter Karine Polwart and two medleys of songs: Sing me a Song by Stephen Deazley and Bryan Marshall; and We Shall Overcome adapted and arranged by Stephen Deazley and Penny Stone.

Some of the songs in this collection were recorded during the pandemic to be sung at home and include more guidance than others. So, with each song and medley listed below you will find:
