 Who is
Daniel Wolf?
When not teaching at a Philadelphia elementary school, he is slowly, quietly, and painstakingly penning well-crafted music and verse designed to penetrate even the most hardened of hearts. Listen carefully and you can hear the soft meditative sounds of Jobin, the romantic longings of Manilow, and the child-like wordplay of Roger Miller. But listen even more carefully and you will discover a most unique style culled from years of living and traveling abroad while forever keenly observing the full panoply of human emotions.
From the romantic “Here You’ll Stay"
to the whimsical “Just You and Me”;
from the rock “Lost Without You”
to the 60’s-like “Graduation Day”;
and from the folk “Collage”
and “Seasons”
to the nostalgic “Do You Remember?",
Daniel Wolf possesses an uncanny ability to write in a variety
of genres will maintaining the highest standards of musicality.
In addition to his individual pieces, Daniel has written 3 full
length musicals. David is
the story of the young shepherd boy destined to be King of
Israel. In it we witness David’s rise to fame, his struggle with
an increasingly jealous King Saul, and his love for Saul’s son,
Jonathan. Socrates is the
story of the renowned Greek philosopher during the last days of
his life. Here we see Socrates’ razor sharp mind as he confronts
the dogmas of his day, the devotion of his pupils especially
that of a young Plato, his trial and conviction on a charge of
heresy, and finally his courage in the final hours of his life.
Lastly, there is
Kennedy, the story of the 35th President of the United
States. Kennedy brings to life all those fascinating and unique
individuals who made up the Kennedy era such as his wife Jackie,
his brother Bobby, Lyndon Johnson, Hubert Humphrey, and of
course Richard Nixon. Kennedy spans from 1953 where as a young
senator, Kennedy meets the beautiful Jackie Bouvier (the future
Mrs. Kennedy) to that fateful day in Dallas, 1963. Kennedy can
be viewed at:

Taken together, Daniel Wolf has the potential to be a major
force in the world of both popular music and musical theater.
Take the time to listen and read his work carefully. You will
not be disappointed. |
