NEW YORK, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- The creator of the Broadway hit Hamilton revealed more songs Monday for a second mixtape.

Lin-Manuel Miranda posted on Twitter the follow-up volume from the first one released Friday will include George Washington's introduction Right Hand Man and Alexander Hamilton's expose The Reynolds Pamphlet.

He wrote, "They were already underway but couldn't get em done in time."

Last month, he teased on Twitter the second Hamilton Mixtape would include The Schuyler Sisters, which first introduces Angelica and Eliza, Aaron Burr's standout The Room Where It Happens and Washington's swan song One Last Time.

No release date was set for the second mixtape. "Please savor this one I'm so tired," he tweeted.

The first Atlantic Records collection of 23 songs features Alicia Keys, John Legend, Usher, Wiz Khalifa, Common, Sia and Nas performing offshoot songs inspired by the play. The album includes songs that didn't make it to the Broadway show.

"I'm just so happy you're happy," Miranda tweeted after the announcement. "We've all lost so much sleep making this for you. I don't have words for this gratitude."

A concert was livestreamed at the Richard Rodgers Theater, featuring The Roots, Ja Rule, Ashanti, Andra Day, Regina Spektor, Joell Ortiz, Illmind and J.Period.

Miranda stepped down from the role of Hamilton on July 9.

The play went to Broadway in August 2015 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
