The Drum: A Mini-Musical based on a Tale of Generosity for Unison and 2-Part Voices (Kit), Book & CD

by Sally K. Albrecht (Composer), Jay Althouse (Composer), Tim Hayden (Composer)

All children have dreams, just like Jordan's dream of one day having a drum. Watch as generosity helps everyone's dreams come true! Starting with just a stick, Jordan's day becomes quite magical.
A stick turns into bread; to children it is fed. Then I am given a pot, and I think "Why not?" It replaced the one beyond repair, and I got a new coat to wear! And amazingly you know, of course, in return for it---I got a horse!
Jordan's last adventure of the day involves a wedding party made up of musicians. Do you think his/her dream will finally come true? Don't miss this charming mini-musical based on a wonderful folk tale from India.
