Songs for The Tempest
Original music composed by Brigid Kaelin for Kentucky Shakespeare’s 2024 summer season.
Award-winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brigid Kaelin composed an original suite of songs and incidental music for William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, blending folk, Celtic, and theatrical influences to create a score that feels both ancient and immediate. Her compositions bring new emotional depth to Shakespeare’s text—lyrical, haunting, and perfectly suited for modern productions seeking an authentic yet accessible sound.
Kaelin’s Songs for The Tempest were written for Kentucky Shakespeare’s 2024 production, where they became an integral part of the storytelling—underscoring moments of magic, loss, and reconciliation. Each song is thoughtfully arranged for voice and accompaniment, adaptable for both professional and community theater settings.
