More about this title

About the Composer: Michael John LaChisua

Michael John LaChisua stands among Broadway's most inventive contemporary composers, known for creating intricate, character-driven scores that blend operatic sophistication with theatrical storytelling. His work across three decades spans intimate chamber musicals and large-scale productions, each marked by his distinctive harmonic language, complex rhythmic structures, and deep commitment to serving the text.

Why we love this

This collection represents one of the first comprehensive surveys of LaChisua's theatrical output, giving pianists and singers direct access to some of the most substantive contemporary American musical theatre writing. Each song demands serious musical engagement—intricate harmonies, sophisticated melodic construction, and genuine emotional depth—making this an essential resource for advanced students and professionals seeking repertoire that respects their growing musicianship.

What to expect

LaChisua's music inhabits the territory between classical rigor and theatrical expressiveness. You'll encounter unexpected harmonic turns, moments of lyrical beauty that feel earned rather than gifted, and characters who emerge through music that doesn't simplify their emotional lives.

Who it's for

This collection serves advanced pianists and mature singers who have moved beyond standard musical theatre fare and are ready to tackle scores with genuine compositional complexity. Voice teachers preparing students for advanced auditions and performers building contemporary musical theatre repertoire will find substantial material here.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the harmonic language before diving into the melodic line; LaChisua's chords often carry as much weight as the tune, and understanding the vertical sonorities will inform phrasing and dynamics.
  • Treat rhythmic precision as a dramatic tool. His syncopation and metric shifts aren't ornamentation; they shape the character and emotional arc of each song.
  • Approach the piano part as a full orchestral reduction. Even in intimate settings, these accompaniments contain textural and harmonic information essential to the song's identity.

How to use it

These songs work well in recital settings devoted to contemporary American musical theatre, paired with other 21st-century composers to create a cohesive evening. Individual songs can also enrich graduate-level voice studio classes or serve as audition material for singers seeking roles in sophisticated contemporary work.

Skills your students will build

  • Navigating complex harmonic progressions and non-functional tonality
  • Reading irregular phrasing and syncopated rhythmic patterns
  • Balancing operatic vocal technique with theatrical character work
  • Interpreting accompaniment textures as orchestral reduction
  • Sustaining musical narrative through extended, sophisticated song forms
