Welcome to the wonderful story of David and Goliath contained in The Slingshot Heard 'Round the World. Told with creativity and humor, this musical seeks to show children that “God judges persons differently than humans do. Men and women look at the face; God looks into the heart.” (I Samuel 16:7b The Message).Children will also learn that though life will confront them with many fears, like David they can take positive, faith-filled action to conquer their fears and their foes!As in all musicals from Dave Noel and Jay Rouse, the songs in this musical are easy to learn and fun to sing.Directors will appreciate the additional ideas and tools available in the Resource Kit and Instructional DVD.

Thomas Simaku's  La Leggiadra Luna  arranged for choir a capella. The music begins with a song-like expression introduced at a slow pace, as if emerging from the remoteness of time itself. It is clearly based on the musical utterance of the 'white modality', but these modal segments are constantly surrounded by chromatic inflections throughout the work. Each section of the choir pursues its own path, but during a compositional process of ‘zooming in and out’, as it were, their individual qualities are highlighted. It is as if the initial sound object - which to begin with was far away- is brought nearer to us, in time and space. A variety of shortsegments, predominantly modal, but stemming from different chromatic ‘locations’, are often superimposed. The task of filtering out this 'amourphous' texture and giving its constituent elements - be they melodic or harmonic, or a combination of both - a renewed identity, becomes an essential compositional aim, through which the process of crystallization occurs. The main strategy of the piece is thus exploring the interrelationship between these two sound-worlds (modal and chromatic) and their temporal qualities (ancient and modern), musical or otherwise.
