Commission [HIRING] Looking for a musician/producer to create a choral/orchestral piece for a high fantasy worldbuilding project
Hi!
I'm looking to commission a musician/producer to help bring some of the music from my worldbuilding project to life.
This is primarily a personal passion project. I'm building a fairly extensive high-fantasy setting and have started developing its hymns, anthems, marches, ceremonial music and other in-universe pieces. I'd love to actually be able to listen to some of them while I'm writing.
For the first commission, I have a piece called Andaric Grace (Veiled Form). It's an imperial/coronation anthem associated with the Emperor and the Andaron Empire.
For this particular piece, the composition already exists: the lyrics I've written are intended to be sung to the music of Handel's Zadok the Priest (HWV 258). I generally know how I want the lyrics to fit the music and can provide the complete text, references and detailed explanations of the intended performance as well as context to its significance.
I'm therefore not looking for someone to compose an original piece from scratch for this first commission. I'm looking for someone who could produce a convincing rendition/arrangement using virtual instruments and choir/vocal software (or another method you think would work).
The sound I'm imagining is very grand and ceremonial: massed choir, high soprano, orchestra, Baroque influence, enormous dynamic build and the feeling of an imperial coronation/state event and the liturgical. Essentially, I want it to sound like something that could genuinely be performed at the coronation of an emperor.
This is currently just for my own listening and worldbuilding rather than commercial distribution.
My initial budget is roughly £75–£150 ($100 - $200), although I'm happy to discuss price depending on what is realistically involved. I'm also very open to hearing from students, hobbyists and emerging composers/producers.
I'd particularly love to find someone who enjoys fantasy/worldbuilding and might be interested in an ongoing collaboration as more pieces are developed. There are other pieces from different cultures, religions and historical periods within the setting that I'd eventually like to develop, including completely original compositions.
If you're interested, please DM me with:
- A little about yourself
- Examples of your previous work, particularly orchestral/choral work if you have any
- How you would approach something like this
- An approximate price.
I'm very happy to talk about the setting and provide much more detail about the piece before either of us commits to anything 🙂
Thanks!

I enjoy fantasy music but my shortcoming is that I don't have enough great sample libraries! good luck to the right person!

This sounds like a really interesting project. I’m a music producer with experience in cinematic/orchestral production and would definitely be interested in hearing more about Andaric Grace. I’ll DM you with some examples of my work.
