On Writing : New Project! by Gabriella Dennany

I am going to start writing a play based off of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace and can't wait to get started! It's such a amazing novel! I do know that a musical was made based off of part 5, but I plan on writing a musical, too, but spans over the whole novel. I just have one question! Does anyone know where I could find a songwriter/composer? I don't have much experience with that area, thus my need for a partner to write this with me! Any advice helps! Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
