This is why #vocalist and #lyricist are paid jobs...

Oh my.
Getting #lyrics to match in one language is one thing,
but getting them to work with the songs flow, rhythm and cadence while retaining the meaning of the lyrics ?

Steven MayoffJun 3

I am a published fiction writer and poet and a lyricist who has written a 28-page libretto, adapted from my own 10-poem cycle.

I am seeking a composer who writes or at least is influenced by pop, jazz, classical and cabaret styles.

The libretto tells a simple love story with a gender-bending twist and the atmosphere of a waking dream. The language is heightened and poetic. There are simple stage directions that hint at the possibilities of staging.

To get a better idea of my writing accomplishments and interests, I would encourage you to go to my web site www.stevenmayoff.ca and have a look around before reaching out to me. You can email me via the contact page or directly at [email protected]
