LilyPond comes with a script called "lilysong" that was apparently written to do just that, using Festival.
It was unfortunately added without documentation a decade ago and never documented, nor much maintained since. I very much doubt that it still works, but you can always try.
For my wee voicemail greeting, I did it the hard way by hand-coding the XML file. Festival uses the "Singing" dtd:
<!DOCTYPE SINGING PUBLIC "-//SINGING//DTD SINGING mark up//EN" "Singing.v0_1.dtd" []>
