Anaïs Mitchell on 'Chant'

Orpheus might be the one working on a song, but she gave him the melody! Anaïs Mitchell looks back on writing "Chant" and the different storylines she wove into this dramatic number.

orpheus: the gods have forgotten the song of their love
eurydice: great cool babe, i think we're gonna die

Chant is my absolutely favourite song in the music, the weight of it, the lyrics, the emotions. Genius creation

[SofiaMartinez-ce]

I love chant so much, gives me chills

[Phasmania]

Chant is so good, insane that it’s one of the only big numbers that never gets performed live when it’s also one of the few where the whole cast sings

I love the double story telling in chant ❤

[FairFeline]

One of my favorite songs. Amber Gray’s voice during Persephone’s verses just hit different.

[IXScasualty]
