Song Scores

Buy Helen’s award-winning score of ‘Saved’ here!!!

“People often ask me how I write songs, what comes first – lyrics or tune, etc. To be honest, they just drop in, without warning. Unless I’ve been commissioned to write something specific I don’t generally write to order, they just arrive, channelled, in a random kind of way. Sometimes weeks or even months can pass with nothing manifesting, then three will drop in in one week, like buses. The songs here have been written since 2002 when I wrote my first song, Chanson. I try and focus on themes which are universal, or universally accessible, rather than personal stories. I still can’t get my head around asking a room of 40 singers to sing about my personal experiences! I’d rather write about something we all feel or believe in, or feel concerned about. Often songs are inspired by stories I hear in the news. It’s a way to deal with my rage. And other songs are light, frivolous, tongue-in-cheek….Light and shade, different styles, some solo-led, mostly not, some songs have improvisation opportunities. At some point I’ll add my arrangements to this list, but first I need to get the original songs down” Helen Yeomans
