We Dream Of A World
A beautiful collection of songs written and recorded for Choirs.
“We Dream Of A World” is a collection of contemporary choir music by Roy
Meredith, which is evocative and yet simple. Whilst being melodic and lilting,
the melody stays in a range which suits most children.
 Dr Foul’s Folly
An environmental musical experience by John Davies.
Involves 18
main characters plus Dr Foul’s army of many. Dr Foul seeks to pollute the world so that he may live for
eternity. The Earth Mother and her four Children of the
Forest - Fawna,
Flora, Aeros and Aqua - must prevent the evil Dr Foul from succeeding.
Resource kit
supplied with script, chord and melody charts for all 12 songs plus, two CD’s
(one with vocals, the other with 14 backing tracks for the entire show).
It’s About Time
A musical experience by John Davies.
Professor Justin Tyme has just invented the time machine and has
discovered the world is about to end. He believes he has a solution to the
problem and he and his two assistants travel back through the twentieth century
searching for the way to save the world.
Testimonial - “Its About Time” was the defining moment in the school year
and a wonderful engaging experience for all students, as it ignited their
imagination, creativity and enthusiasm. Students learnt the true value of
teamwork and team spirit, and realised anything is possible when you believe."
