Musical:
Elijah! God's Faithful Prophet
by Mark Patterson

Charming
and witty, this superb children's musical captivates the heart through
its memorable melodies and humorous dialogue that creatively tells
the story of Elijah. From his confrontation with Ahab and Jezebel
through his journey in the desert, Elijah shows his faith in the
God who provides. Concluding with one of the most dramatic moments
in the Old Testament, Elijah asks God to send down fire upon the
altar at Mt. Carmel. There, the people of Israel see the power of
the true and living God.
Vocal
parts are specifically designed so any children's choirs can perform
them with success especially unison choirs! Those choirs seeking
a bit more challenge, however, will enjoy learning the optional
voice parts found in several of the musical's unforgettable songs.
A delightful dramatic narrative employs numerous roles for girls
and boys as well as several non-speaking parts that can be easily
performed by younger children. Works perfectly in any worship setting,
music camp, or VBS format.
Performance
time: 30-40 minutes.

Basic
Training 2: Rhythm Training for Ringers - CGB518
Venita MacGorman
with Erin and Kristi MacGorman
2,
3, 4 or 5 octaves, Levels 2 & 3
This
valuable teaching resource continues the concept of Basic Training
for Bells - That EVERY new skill is introduced to all of the
ringers, so that the entire bell choir learns and performs each
new element presented. In each lesson, a new rhythmic pattern or
time signature is practiced first in unpitched notation, then in
unison exercises, and finally in a short musical example in which
all ringers play the newly-learned element. The collection features
both 2-3 octave and 3, 4 or 5 octave musical examples, including
arrangements of folk songs, spirituals, hymntunes and classical
literature.
