Happy Birthday

A sad, very slow, reflective, mellow, traditional country and western number, for female singer (southern accent), with backing singers, traditional country and western band instrumentation, Clear authentic sound, very little reverb, Very sparse use of drums, light textured instrumentation, space for voices to sound above the resonances of the instruments

In the style of a big West End musical, this is a song is an ensemble number, that draws all the cast soloists together, each singing about their isolation on their birthdays, Verses should be split between female and male voices, and choir joining in for the choruses, big build ups, end of Act 1 dramatic crowd pleaser, Big orchestral score

A sad, very slow, reflective, mellow, traditional country and western number, for female singer and male singer (southern accents), with backing singers, traditional country and western band instrumentation, Clear authentic sound, very little reverb, Very sparse use of drums, light textured instrumentation, space for voices to sound above the resonances of the instruments

A laid back piece for vocalists and a small jazz ensemble, Reflective, plaintive, lush chromatic jazz harmonies 1970s sound, very little reverb, Instrumental breaks, drums very subtle using brushes

a sad quiet country and western number, mid tempo, for a female (southern accent), backing singers, harmonica solo and traditional band, 3/4 waltz time, Musical phrasing continues over the bar lines, Delicate instrumentation and careful interplay with the voice
