"Sexy Lady" is a contemporary classical piece composed by Ben Moore. The piece was composed in 2008 and premiered on October 18, 2008, at the Weill Recital Hall in New York City. The piece is a part of a larger song cycle called "Three Women," which is based on the poems of Maya Angelou. "Sexy Lady" is a solo vocal piece that is accompanied by piano. The piece is in a slow and sultry tempo, with a bluesy feel. The vocal line is characterized by long, sustained notes and a smooth, legato phrasing. The piano accompaniment is sparse and rhythmic, with a focus on the lower register of the instrument. The piece is divided into three distinct sections, each with its own character and mood. The first section is marked "Slow and sultry," and features a languid vocal line that is punctuated by short, syncopated piano figures. The second section is marked "With a little swing," and features a more upbeat and rhythmic vocal line that is accompanied by a jaunty piano part. The final section is marked "Slow and sultry," and returns to the mood and character of the opening section. Overall, "Sexy Lady" is a sensual and evocative piece that showcases Moore's skill as a composer of contemporary classical music. The piece is notable for its use of blues and jazz influences, as well as its expressive vocal line and sparse, rhythmic piano accompaniment.
