Music Composer

This role is for a music composer to create a custom solo piano composition that tells a romantic story through music. The project involves writing original sheet music tailored for a skilled pianist, capturing a narrative arc that reflects milestones in a relationship. The piece, should be expressive, personal, and emotionally resonant, blending original themes with piano-only transcriptions of existing melodies for seamless storytelling.

Deliverables

• Compose a solo piano piece titled “Hammocks and Hurricanes: Nocturne #13”.
• Structure the composition to follow the emotional arc: hesitant beginnings, playful intimacy, miscommunication, reconciliation, hurricane adversity, airport farewell, and a hopeful ending.
• Integrate piano-only transcriptions of Cody Johnson’s “Nothing on You” (lyrics expressed in piano melody) and the reflective section of “Konstantine” (Something Corporate, 7:54 onward).
• Weave motifs of 13 as a central theme, with subtle references to 27 and 05.
• Provide professionally notated sheet music that can be played by a skilled pianist.
• Ensure seamless transitions between sections and reference melodies for a cohesive musical journey.
• Optional: provide an audio demo or MIDI rendering for reference alongside the score.

Requirements

• Proven experience in composing solo piano works, preferably with a romantic or narrative style.
• Strong skills in harmony, melodic development, and thematic storytelling through music.
• Ability to create piano transcriptions of vocal melodies and integrate them naturally into original composition.
• Proficiency in music notation software such as Sibelius, Finale, or MuseScore.
• Capability to deliver high-quality, performance-ready sheet music.
• Sensitivity to emotional detail and symbolism in musical storytelling.
• Prior experience composing for personal commissions or bespoke projects is an advantage.
