A song for October: Depression and Mental Health Awareness Month

October 11, 2022 by George Edwin Smith Leave a Comment

“I Am Here” is a song for SATB Choir and accompaniment about caring and compassion, encouraging singers and listeners to be available, to care and never grow weary of lifting each other up. We need to get this message out and to fulfill its meaning, to be aware and be open to all who need. In these tough times when we cannot be with our friends, many are hurting, sad and lonely. Students and teachers alike are silently suffering. Families are missing their loved ones. This simple song sends a powerful message to encourage us reach out, be a friend, to comfort and to support in every way we can.
Please take a moment to watch it on YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=re0Ku8iDIBc and share with your students.
E-print or printed copies are available at https://www.jwpepper.com/11417680.item# and https://www.arrangeme.com/title/A714588
If you truly cannot afford to purchase copies, and will sing it with your choir, email me at , and I will send you’re a PDF that you may copy and use with your ensemble.
