Descripción
The 'Spotlight Series' represents a variety of imaginative repertoire for stage or concert performance, from Key Stage 1-3. Some of the cantatas provide scope for creativity through movements, whils others are fully contained 'Mini-musicals' Inspired by the classic 'Just So' story by Rudyard Kipling, 'How the Leopard got his spots' is written in three parts for girls' voices and narrator. It is an imaginative and atmospheric work, depictingthe 'High Veldt' of Africa, the shadowy forest and the thrill of the chase. This cantata would lend itself well to the addition of movement, but is equally effective performed as a concert piece.
