New lyrics – Eunuchs’ second update for Mordecai + New melody for House of Women

3 EUNUCHS
Well, Esther, she has gotten the best, sir,
a chamber of her very own
and yesterday, Hegai blessed her days
with seven servants fitting for the throne

MORDECAI
Are you certain of this thing you say?

3 EUNUCHS
Yes I’m sure of that, Mordecai

MORDECAI
So she’s treated well and she’s okay?

3 EUNUCHS
I would think so yes, Mordecai

MORDECAI
How long shall we wait?

3 EUNUCHS
We guess that’s up to fate!

There is a also a new draft melody for the House of Women, again credits to my oudist friend Michael. This melody is for Hegai and the women to sing after the 12 months of treatments so some women are going to start to have a night with the king.

From now on I will need to name the live songwriting videos I do so I can easily find them again in the future.

Now I’ll have to clean that up by downloading all the live videos and renaming them accordingly.

It’s important to organize important things!

Lyrics done for melody composed yesterday!

A: I am here, Esther dear,
there is not a thing to fear

B: I can see, that you’ll be,
future queen at least for me

C: I adore you for sure,
you’re like none that came before

ALL: So we say, hip hooray,
future queen is on the way, let us stay,
we’ll be glad to share the things we know
and so we’ll do as asked, till at last,
your crowning earns a holiday

A big thanks to Elizabeth again for contributing the word “earn”, potentially saving me hours!

Wrote a new melody for Esther’s 7 servants today!

After Hegai introduced Esther’s 7 maidservants and upgraded her place of dwelling to the best place in the house of women, her maidservants sing, and the 1st melody is actually again taken from another one of my oudist friend Michael’s compositions! So I have to thank him greatly after this musical is done.

The 2nd part of the melody came out of nowhere, and I think I composed it before in the past and it has returned to its right place in the score… So I am really looking forward to sharing it with you all!

After almost 3.5 hours of writing these 2 stanzas, finalized it!

HEGAI:
Should Esther please, the best of these, fine women are yours,
These best seven servants are highly endorsed
And it’s my quest to give the best of dwellings to your grace
in this house, may you shine on every face!

Draft lyrics for Esther & Hegai’s 2nd interaction in the House of Women

Below are half-completed lyrics which I will complete soon. If you have any lyric ideas or suggestions please let me know!

ESTHER:
Look at me, what do you see, I’m doing okay
Indeed all your gifts got me feeling so fine
But look at me, cause honestly, I’m from no royal line
…………………………………………………………………………………….

HEGAI:
Well in fact, I will enact, this thing that is due,
the best seven girls that are yours to serve you
And if you may, I’ll……………

Thanks for reading! Again, If you have any lyric ideas or suggestions please let me know!

Lyrics for the other 6 months of perfumes and purification in the House of Women

Revivifying the body and the soul
And purifying our being till its whole

WOMEN:
Sweet smelling spices
Tenderly apply
till the fragrance rises
Spiriting the king’s eye

Revivifying the body and the soul
And purifying our being till its whole

Songwriting Updates on our Esther Musical

Mordecai’s Request to Eunuch Guarding the House of Women (Esther 2)

Day after day
Thought after thought
Feeling after feeling
These times have so wrought

My fellow sir
Trusted consort
What’s the situation?
I need a report!

Wrote an interaction between Mordecai and a eunuch outside the House of Women

EUNUCH
I guess sir, you are wondering ‘bout Esther
cause every day you come around
well, yesterday, she was getting the best first-rate
of royal food that’s suited for the crown

MORDECAI
Are you certain of this thing you say?

EUNUCH
Yes I’m sure of that, Mordecai

MORDECAI
So she’s treated well and she’s okay?

EUNUCH
I would think so yes, Mordecai

MORDECAI
When will the new queen come to rise?

EUNUCH
Not sure, but I hope she will be wise
