The Spotlight Series represents a variety of imaginative repertoire for stage or concert performance, from Key stage 1 to 3. Some of the cantatas provide scope for creativity through the addition of movement, whilst others are fully contained 'mini-musicals'. Written appropriately for the age-group by experienced educational composers, here are songs and shows to suit all abilities and ages.
Based on a Key Stage 1 science topic, 'A Minibeast Christmas' is a variation on the traditional Christmas story, told from a rather unusual viewpoint - that of the minibeasts in the stable, who find themselves the first to witness the miracle of Jesus' birth. Gentle humour, optional percussion and catchy unison songs characterise this light-hearted musical. Accompaniment CD, script, photocopiable lyrics and free license for the first performance are included.
