Elias really wants to follow the star with the Three Wise Men to find the new Child King, but he gets so caught up with finding fancy clothes and perfect presents that he doesn’t leave with the others and ends up missing the first Christmas. This is a Christmas play with a difference in that the characters mime their parts whilst a reader narrates the story, giving the children freedom to use their imaginations and meaning KS1 can be involved alongside KS2 children. The lively performance also includes readings, catchy songs and hymns based around the Nativity Story, so the audience can join in with the children in celebrating the wonder of Christmas.To learn more about performance licensing click here.

Instruments: Organ, ManualsNow here's a new idea: instead of asking our composers to work their improvisatory magic on hymn tunes we allocated the main theme of some of the world's favourite classical melodies. The result is a really pleasing new genre which we think will find favour with organists.All the pieces are written for those with a moderate technique and there are two versions - with or without pedals.ContentsThe themes on which our composers have based their improvisations are:Adagio from Clarinet Concerto (Mozart) - Rosalie BonightonAdagio from Pathetique Sonata (Beethoven) - Betty RoeAdagio from Violin Concerto in G minor (Bruch) - Andrew FletcherAir on the G string (Bach) - Richard LloydAndante from Piano Concerto No 21 (Mozart) - Richard LloydAutumn from The Four Seasons (Vivaldi) - Malcolm McKelveyAve verum (Mozart) - Stanley VannBarcarolle from Tales of Hoffmann (Offenbach) - Malcolm McKelveyDance of the Hours from La Gioconda (Ponchielli) - Martin SetchellFirst movement from Symphony No 40 (Mozart) - Robert JonesFirst movement of Pastoral Symphony (Beethoven) - Andrew FletcherFourth movement from The Trout (Schubert) - John MarshHallelujah Chorus (Handel) - Adrian Vernon FishHornpipe from Water Music (Handel) - Andrew WrightJerusalem (Parry) - John MarshLargo (Handel) - Martin SetchellLargo from New World Symphony (Dvorák) - Andrew WrightLullaby (Brahms) - Robert JonesMarch from William Tell Overture (Rossini) - Rosalie BonightonNon più andrai from The Marriage of Figaro (Mozart) - Andrew WrightPanis angelicus (Franck) - Stanley VannRomanze from Eine kleine Nachtmusik (Mozart) - Norman WarrenRondo from Horn Concerto No 5 (Mozart) - Richard LloydSoldier's Chorus from Faust (Gounod) - John MarshSpring from The Four Seasons (Vivaldi) - Norman WarrenTheme from Swan Lake (Tchaikovsky) - Norman WarrenToreador's Song from Carmen (Bizet) - Betty RoeWaltz from Sleeping Beauty (Tchaikovsky) - Adrian Vernon Fish

How a prodigal church might save the planet...The world is in a mess and that mess is getting worse. Climate change is rapidly destroying God's creation. Our poorest neighbours are already suffering acutely but it will be our children and grandchildren who bear the full impact of the disaster. If the Church rediscovered the real meaning of Jesus it could play a pivotal role in averting this catastrophe. Instead, it frets about its own survival and agonises over who is sleeping with whom.The human race is staring into the abyss. Compared to the effects of climate change, nuclear war would be a stroll in the park. This book points a way forward that could bring life and hope to the planet - and the Church. Incoming affirmation: 'Fine book. Let's hope it's not too late' - Richard Rohr (New Mexico, USA) John Barton, Oriel Laing Professor of Biblical Interpretation at Oxford for more than 20 years: "I've read your book with much interest. It's highly readable and also very challenging and needs to be widely read."
