A Selkie Tale is a short music-theatre work (duration about 25 minutes) designed for performance by seven- to eleven-year-olds year olds. Four solo roles and several separate chorus groups give scope for the participation of a large number of children of all ability levels. The story is a humorous version of the Orkney folk-tale of an islander kidnapping a Selkie wife - a creature who is a seal in the sea and a woman on the land. Things go hilariously wrong, with the Selkie wife escaping to rejoin her companions in the sea, and Mansie, the islander, facing a most uncongenial alliance with his cousin and housekeeper, Miss Trowie-Tattibogle. Vocal part. This is a special item which is made to order. Please e-mail our Mail Order Department for further information

In Celtic folklore a “selkie” is a mythical creature appearing as a seal in water, but taking human form on land. In this striking setting for second year players the first movement, in a lyric and melancholy style, portrays the selkie as a baby seal. The second movement depicts a young boy on land, and employs a number of characteristics of traditional Scottish folk tunes. This marvelous work provides opportunities for musical and cross-curricular exploration. Duration: 3:50.
