Job - Beginnings pt.2
I suppose I should mention that my wife Suzanne, whom I approached about writing music for my lyrics, has a Master’s degree in music. She is an excellent musician and songwriter; she teaches piano, flute, and voice as well. She and I have written many songs together and even entire original music programs. We have never undertaken anything like the production of Job, as I envision it, though.
I don’t really know what arrogance (chutzpah?) caused me to think I could even DO what we’re trying to accomplish. But here we are. The lyric is complete and we’ve got about half of the music done… enough to be able to present it as a “preview” of the full opera. We still have to have it orchestrated, have the percussion designed, design choreography for all the players and singers, lighting design, stage design, etc., etc., etc; AND, as if all that is not enough, there is a digital media aspect of the production that also needs to be done. Thankfully, I don’t HAVE to DO it ALL. We have garnered the interest of many talented and creative people who, by God’s provision, will help us bring this vision to fruition.
We are looking for singers and musicians who want to be part of this project. Please let us know if you are interested.
