I need some simple fiddle and choral arrangements for a piece of musical theatre. It will be for 8 short songs. The play is Treasure Island. It is for 14-16 year olds. We have the lyrics. The style needs to be loosley nautical but I would appreciate some contemporary twists and variety in there. The choral sections can be very simple, two part harmonies would suffice. The sole fiddler is good if not amazing. Key Requirements: - Arrange both choral and fiddle parts. - Flexibility in instrumentation beyond standard options. Ideal Skills and Experience: - Experience in arranging music for musical theatre. - Ability to work with unspecified ensembles and genres. - Strong skills in both choral and fiddle arrangements.

Hi there! Do you mean the novel from Stevenson? I would love to compose that! I believe I am the right candidate for you for my experience and skill set. I am an Italian composer with almost 10 years of experience in music for musical, film and TV series on both national and international level. I have recently worked on a musical (please see my bio comments for proof) that took me over a year for 21 song; everything was based on the lyrics of Hans Petersen, while I orchestrated and recorded all the rest (let me know if you are interested in a score example). Most of the songs included solo violins and a choir. I have also recently worked with professional players of the Regio Theatre in Turin and with the Testa Choir based in Turin, too. I set a budget, but it really depends on wether you also need a mock recording of what would the score sound like, so it's negotiable. Let me know about it! All the best, John

Hello, Your Treasure Island project sounds like an exciting production, and I’d love to help bring the music to life for your young cast. I am a professional composer and arranger with experience in both musical theatre and folk-inspired music, and I specialize in creating music that feels authentic to its setting while remaining accessible for performers. For your 8 short songs, here’s how I’d approach it: Fiddle Arrangements: I will write parts that suit a single fiddler with solid ability—melodic, rhythmic, and engaging but not overly complex, so they can be played confidently on stage. Choral Arrangements: Two-part harmonies tailored for 14–16 year olds, ensuring they’re simple, singable, and supportive of the lyrics, yet still add depth and variety. Style: A nautical feel rooted in traditional sea shanty and folk elements, combined with contemporary twists in rhythm, harmony, or instrumentation to keep the sound fresh and theatrical. Flexibility: I can adapt instrumentation beyond fiddle and voices if needed, to give you more options depending on what performers or resources you have available. Would you like to send me one of your lyrics first? That way I can sketch a short sample arrangement (fiddle + vocal harmony) so you can get a sense of how your songs could sound before we dive into the full set. Looking forward to collaborating on this
