Nowadays modern smartphone cameras can beautify our appearance, right? Well, for this song, we’re getting old fashioned. Really, really old fashioned. Like, ancient. As in, Ancient Persia, where women in the harem went through 6 months of myrrh treatment and another 6 months of oils and spices for their beautification. Came up with over 50 […]

Harem girls sing about their beauty treatments Esther and Hegai sing and bond. Mordecai sings another part from “Day After Day” Mordecai bumps […]

So continuing from the songwriting of the melody of the important chorus, I came up with a great finish for option 2 yesterday.

Remember the chorus yesterday that was written? Still writing the melody for it! Ran through about a handful of melody options already and going to write a few more melodies before settling on the right one. The one I’ve just written has a lot of minor chords which sounds dark and uncertain, which is impactful, […]

Feeling really humbled because this is a very important song in the musical, introducing Mordecai and Esther. This is a song in which Mordecai, Esther, and the King faced 3 years of uncertainty in the search for a new queen. A pivotal moment in character development so trusting for inspiration and wisdom to write this […]
