Grades K-6 • "Starry Night, Noisy Night" is a charming Christmas musical for unison/opt. two-part voices filled with humorous references to modern distractions that prevent us from experiencing the true meaning of Christmas. The story is told from the stable animals" point of view: Cows annoyed by the bright starlight; Sheep spending so much time watching the activity outside the stable they almost miss the miraculous scene unfolding before them; and Chickens too busy pecking out IMs to receive the message conveyed by the birth of Christ. The musical ends on a quiet, reverent, and worshipful note, turning away from life"s distractions to celebrate God"s great gift of love. This work is appropriate for performance by 10-12 children, or many more. Everything that you need to prepare this musical is included: staging directions; a list of characters, costumes, and props; and a mixed-media CD with reproducible singers" pages with dialog, and full performance and accompaniment tracks. / Cantata/Sacred Musical / Unison, Piano, Performance/Accompaniment CD / Christmas
