Welcher.
Commission
ed for the Kingsville
(TX) Independent School
District and its thriving
music department, Welcher
has created A Musical
Fable for Children, based
upon a story by Santiago
Vaquera-Vasquez. A
narrator tells the tale
of two children on
opposite sides of the
border and the magical
creatures who allowed
them to see as the other
sees. Welcher uses
musical themes and
instruments to help
identify the characters
for the audience. The
musical play was
performed at the
Kingsville campus, as
well as six other
elementary schools in the
district. The Need to
See is a theater piece
for children, featuring a
narrator/singer and five
instrumentalists.
Designed to show children
(aged 8-10) a fable about
acceptance and diversity,
the work also exposes
children to live
musicians in a highly
portable,
suitable-for-classroom
theater piece.The
narrator/singer begins by
teaching the children a
well-known Mexican folk
tune, “Naranja
Dulceâ€, which leads
directly into the
story. The fable
concerns two figures from
folklore: Don Conejo (the
rabbit god) and Don
Coyote (the coyote
god). These two
trickster/adversaries
take on the task of
helping Isabella, an
American girl, and
Tomà s, a Mexican boy,
understand each
other’s
culture—by means
of a trick. The two
children, living on
opposite sides of the Rio
Grande in Texas and
Mexico, have been taught
to fear el otro lado
(“the other
sideâ€), and to stay
away from the river.Â
This causes both children
to be nervous and afraid,
and Conejo and Coyote
decide to do something
about that.Borrowing from
another well-known tale,
writer Santiago
Vaquera-VÃ squez has
the two trickster-deities
perform a bit of
hocus-pocus, exchanging
the two childrens’
eyes for one day, so they
can “seeâ€
through someone
else’s
perspective. The
result, told in two
languages with narration,
song, and constant music,
allows the children in
the audience to
participate as singers,
and also as spectators to
a tale that has relevance
and contemporary
meaning. Â
Employing three familiar
songs from Latin American
culture (“Naranja
Dulceâ€,
“Tengo una
Muñecaâ€, and
“Mambru se fue a la
Guerraâ€), the piece
takes its audience on a
journey both familiar and
new—and ultimately
enlightening.
