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 – now available in a new edition with CD – 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 included, as well as performance notes and copyable lyrics to download from the enhanced CD.

The Spotlight Series represents a variety of imaginative repertoire for stage and concert performance for children age 5-14. 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.
