Classic Broadway Song Composition
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have written some lyrics and I need a talented composer to create a dramatic yet intimate Classic Broadway-style song to accompany them. It concerns the Biblical story of Hagar and her son Ishmael, Sarah and her son Isaac, both sired by Abraham. It is about impatience, the consequences when we take matters into our own hands and hurt others, and an enduring promise of love, destiny, and hope. At the end, Hagar is standing on the stage as Sarah hugs Isaac. The words Sarah sings are both a assurance for her son and an apology for the slave she mistreated. The song should convey a contemplative and inevitable mood, and should prominently feature the clarinet with influence of New Orleans blues.
Ideal skills for this project include:
- Familiarity with Classic Broadway-style composition
- Experience writing for musical theatre
- Proficiency in clarinet and/or blues arrangement
- Ability to capture a specific mood in music
The song should be able to encapsulate the intensity, intimacy, and story within the lyrics. If you are passionate about musical theatre and have experience in this kind of composition, I'd love to hear from you!
