Fish Tales are stories that are supernatural, completely factual and actually occurred. Why? Because these tales about fish come from God's Word! Designed for versatility, Fish Tales provides you with three mini-musicals with a unique emphasis on Thanksgiving, Easter and missions. At the Fish Tales Fishing Tournament kids will join their host Mr. Gill for a great time of Bible songs and stories...about fish! * In Great Fish for Grateful Folks, kids will learn about gratitude, what the fish symbol meant for early believers, and how Jesus fed five thousand people a supernatural supper of real fish and bread. Jesus encourages us to be thankful to God . . . even for fish sandwiches! * In Good Fish for Easter Day, kids find out what was so good about Good Friday and the relationship of the cross to the resurrection. Children will really get their hooks into learning about God's patience with a doubting world through the story of the Resurrection and be challenged to respond to the gospel themselves. * Good Fish for Fishers of Men tells the tale of the disciples' commitment to follow Jesus. Kids learn to cast their nets to bring the world to Christ. So grab a rod and reel and meet us at the lake to catch the message in our Fish Tales! Ages: Preschool-6th grade.

Programme note

A Light Hour is for ‘any number of percussion musicians’ (but a minimum of ten). The duration is about 60 minutes. The instrumentation is in principle open, as long as percussion is used within the three types specified in the score: skin, metal and wood. Each musician uses two soundsources with two different sounds, one of which is bright (or light) and the other dark. Certain passages also include tuned percussion instruments – vibraphone, xylophone, marimba, gamelan, glockenspiel, steel drums, crotales and the like. 

The work integrates and combines a number of rhythms that Nørgård has used in percussion works since the 1970s, for example in Early Spring Dance (for choir and percussion), and percussion works like I Ching, Easy Beats, Whirls, Zigzag, Nemo Dynamo and Echo Zone I-II-III. 

Special “tone-feasts” (the composer’s term) – followed by a rest – are an recognizable 
melodic feature of the work.: the first minute end with a short tone-feast (and a rest), the first four minutes end with a tone-feast lasting a minute (and a rest), the first quarter of an hour ends with a tone-feast of four minutes (and a rest) – and the work ends with a tone-feast lasting quarter of an hour (and a rest, when the work is over ...). 

The first 15 minutes have a bright, light character throughout, and alternate between 
rhythms and melodic play. The following 15 minutes are more insistent and decidedly 
percussion-based, Afro-Cuban, whereas the third quarter of A Light Hour moves in the.
