Lin Marsh: Along came man (Spotlight

Along Came Man is a thought-provoking cantata about the world we live in, with an ecological theme. One of Lin Marsh's best-loved works it is mainly unison with some two and three-part singing. The cantata lends itself well to the addition of movement, but is equally effective performed as a concert piece. Audio performance and backing tracks are available to download online, as well as performance notes and photocopiable lyrics. The Spotlight Series represents a variety of imaginative repertoire for stage and concert performance, from Keystage 1 to 3 (Scottish P1 to S2). Some of the cantatas provide scope for creativity through the addition of movement, whilst others are fully contained 'mini-musicals'. Written appropriately for he age-group by experienced educational composers, here are songs and shows to suit all abilities and ages.
