About the song

As performed by KATE BALDWIN on "All the Possibilities: Broadway Sings Wartofsky" released on Yellow Sound Label, 01/04/19. Listed as one of the top 25 songs in the Directory of Contemporary Musical Theatre Writers, 2012, “All the Possibilities” has been arranged and performed by The Broadway Boys and performed by soloists in many cabaret and concert settings.

The song comes from THE NAVIGATOR, a musical inspired by the life and achievements of a 19th century genius named Nathaniel Bowditch, who developed the 19th century’s version of GPS for navigators at sea.

There is also a tragic love story at the heart of the plot, which is expressed in this song, by SARAH, Nate’s true love. SARAH is pregnant by another man and she has a premonition that she will not survive childbirth. But because of who she is, she expresses her faith in all the beautiful possibilities that will continue to exist even after she is gone.

Audio version with vocals by Joelle Lurie and piano by Matt Castle.

The sheet music is available in the following keys/versions: Soprano/Alto.

Range: A4 to A5, with one brief leap to C5

Piano vocal with chord symbols included
