Happy Friday, everyone! A couple of darker little oddities for you today to celebrate the coming end of May: Today’s song in my Broadway-style musical, “montepio”, introduces the character of Jorge with a wistful solo as he walks the long road home after another hard day spent working in the coffee fields. I’ve included some sheet music and a little snippet of audio (performed by robots) this time around to help you explore the melody I was imagining. Check it out - https://www.wattpad.com/story/268938260 Today’s poem in my “An Alchemy of Words” poetry collection explores an unexpected personal connection to a tragic moment in American history, in the form of my great-aunt Tillie. You can read it here - https://www.wattpad.com/story/267206808 Read ’em and weep? Rob

Hello
sarahsarasarita
Thanks so much for the follow, Rob!

I released the opening song of my Broadway-style musical, “montepio”, today! Thanks to everyone for waiting patiently while I figured out the details of how to present everything. To all the lyric-lovers out there, I apologize—the curtains rise on a rhythmic instrumental dance number that sets the stage on the dusty island coffee plantation of Montepio. Google “Brooms by Stomp music group” for a sense of what I was imagining (just with more stilts, guns, power, and money... or lack thereof, depending on who you ask). I was also able to put some thought into audience participation and how all of you can be a part of this project here on Wattpad, beyond the usual following, voting and commenting. In short, “montepio” is currently a musical without music (in other words, a tragedy! ). So if any of my upcoming lyrics (or descriptions of rhythmic coffee stomping) inspire you, I’d love to celebrate your montepio performances and compositions by including your YouTube links and/or musical scores in my chapters where people can view and comment on them. Next Friday, I’ll release the song “Jomorrismo”, a little father-daughter comedy duet that has actual lyrics, I promise. And then I believe the following week is the soliloquy “No Bread Today”, where I’ll be setting the opening lines to some of my own music. Have fun and enjoy the ride! Rob

@ShootingStar124 Thanks for the kind words! I definitely hope you enjoy “montepio” as it rolls out.

@RobBartel I'm excited! I wanted a taste of what your writing was like after I read you were working on a musical, so I read your poetry. I'm impressed, and I can't wait for more chapters! You're talented!!

Hello wonderful people. You may not know this but I write stageplays as well as poetry. Now that I’ve got myself into the groove of releasing new poems every Friday, I thought I’d up my game and begin releasing new pieces of theatre every Friday as well. First up is a Broadway-style musical libretto called “montepio” - https://www.wattpad.com/1066985485?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=link&utm_content=share_reading&wp_page=reading_part_end&wp_uname=RobBartel&wp_originator=n2fNxRkg8iRDVtYS7SqWM98h21YrWY4%2BOkbtWIVFYxvpme8Ehy1ykZFsE2%2BqxjUAodyMe6t6We8eiq3wJSzGypbjFGb7Iseffyka1L4uPJ6MC%2FS7EJJhV1AZotGIBlny Today’s update is just the preamble but I’ll get actual scenes and songs out for it over the coming weeks. It’s a little something different and I hope you enjoy! Plague house hugs to all of you, Rob
