Joseph and Family creativity starts with a simple tune

Hi Michael,

I finally found the time to listen to all of "Joseph." You did a good job of humanizing the story, both in the lyrics to the songs, and maybe even more so in the dialog. It is obvious that you have a talent for matching word/phrase and music. (I did find one place where a fermata might have helped with emphasis.) It's a talent I don't have, or the quite a few poems, including some of my own, that I'd like to set to music would have been set.

Like Sherry, I enjoyed Herod's Waltz, but at least as much Joseph and Mary's Wedding Waltz, The March of the Magi, and the Magi's Song.

I hope you don't mind that in the Magi's Song, as well as several others, I substituted the soundfont, Real Voice, which is the best I've found for midi imitation of the timbre of the human voice.

I also wrote in the instruments for each staff, which made things easier to follow than "New Track." ;)

Looking forward to hearing how things progress with "Joseph."

all best,
