Mozart?s Requiem Truth and Legend Mozart?s ?Requiem? is fraught with questions and emotions: the expressive depth of its music, sorrow at the great composer?s early death, truth and legend, fragments and attempts to complete the work. The surviving manuscript reflects its dramatic history: Mozart?s handwriting often appears on the same page as inscriptions by Süssmayr and others. One corner of a page with Mozart?s final musical thoughts was later stolen, but an old photograph bears witness to it.

Composer and Organist John Merbecke lived in interesting times. He was born soon after the beginning of the 16th century and spent his whole life in service of music at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. In 1543 he was arrested for heresy and sentenced to death but received a royal pardon unlike the three others with whom he was arrested. He returned to his position at Windsor and began work on a concordance of the English Bible to replace the one that had been destroyed when he was arrested. The Book of Common Praier Noted was published in 1550 at a time when the continued use of plainchant was controversial. Here Merbecke sets the chants but in English ratherthan Latin.As a piece of history for students of monody and as a part of the church’s heritage Merbecke’s setting is invaluable.

The infamous census of the ages has made Bethlehem a busy and crowded spot, and there are some guests at a local inn who aren't very happy. F. W. Woolworth (a rich wool salesman), and Rock Starling (a hip star singer), among others, have made it clear they want no part of the 'lower class' staying at the inn (or otherwise). By the end of this 20-minute, easy-to-prepare and present musical, we learn that Jesus came for everyone, and that because of Him, we're all included in God's Kingdom. For grades K--6. / Choeur

It's not just another day at the Tiny Bit of Heaven Motel in Bethlehem (actually a stable behind a small Inn), which is run completely by animals. Annie Lamb is a reporter for The Bethlehem Chronicle and snooping around for clues regarding Caesar's Census. However she---along with the others---is about to have a life-changing night. Major Moo runs a tip-top motel, accompanied by Miss Dovie (Front Desk Clerk), Ladybug Lacey (maid), and Cecil R. Caterpillar (bellhop). The Innkeeper is the only human that ever comes in among the animal visitors, but rumor has it he's bringing a human couple in to stay the night, and the animals are afraid they'll ruin everything! But they all eventually learn a certain 'Stranger on the straw' came to earth to change the world, and that even people and things we don't understand can sometimes be miracles in disguise. Recommended for grades K-6. Approximately 20 minutes. / Choeur

Cet opéra de Gilbert and Sullivan est défini dans la tour de Londres, au cours du XVIe siècle, et est la plus sombre et peut-être plus émotionnellement engageant, des opéras Savoy, se terminant avec un personnage principal-Hearted et deux missions très réticentes, plutôt que l'habituel de nombreux mariages. Le livret contient humour considérable, y compris beaucoup de calembour-laden fractionné, mais la satire de marque de commerce de Gilbert et de complications de l'intrigue envers sont remplacées par les nouvel ISBNdued en comparaison avec les autres opéras de G and S. / Chant/Vocal/Choeur
