THE DRUMA Mini-Musical based on a Tale of Generosity for Unison and �-Part VoicesBy Sally K. Albrecht and Jay Althouse Recording Orchestrated by Tim Hayden
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 new mini-musical based on a wonderful folk tale from India.
Recommended for grades 2–7.Performance time: approximately 20 minutes.Reproducible Student Pages included in Teacher’s Handbook.Enhanced SoundTrax CD includes reproducible PDF files of Student Pages and Cover Art.Staging Notes included.

Parlez-vous Français?
There are two popular languages in Canada: English and French. In the city of Quebec, signs on
the outside of buildings may be written in both languages, but the French words must be larger.
Brrr!During the winter, the sun shines for only a few hours
each day in some cold, arctic parts of Canada.
Going for the goal!
The most popular sport in Canada is ice hockey. All six of the largest cities have a professional team
in the National Hockey League.
Ice, ice, babyCanadians enjoy playing a game called curling, which is played by sliding
a granite stone across ice toward a target.
Cuckoo coinsA one dollar coin is called a “loonie” because the national bird,
the loon, appears on it.
Canada
Say what?Salut (Sah-LOO) = Hello
Au revoir (oh rehv-WAHR) = Goodbye
S’il vous plait (see voo PLAY) = Please
Merci (mehr-SEE) = Thank you
French
How big is Canada, the second largest country in the world? This
to the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Arctic Ocean in the
north. Even though it is so large, most of the 31 million people
live in the Southern areas near the United States border. Much of
the landscape is covered with plains, but there are also beautiful
mountains in the west and lowlands in the southeast. The capital
city of Ottawa is in the province of Ontario.
Wooden wondersTotem poles are common in many parts of Canada. These tall monuments
are carved from trees, and often depict stories or legends.

A real tongue-twister!There’s a town in Wales named Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, which means “St. Mary’s Church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St. Tysilio of the red cave.” But you can call it “Llanfair” for short.
A national symbolof the dragon, but most believe it was introduced to Wales by the Romans many centuries ago.
In perfect harmonyWales is sometimes known as “the land of song” because the people love music and singing. One of the oldest musical traditions is the all-male choir.
BaaSheep farms are a common sight in Wales. In fact, there are more sheep there than people!
Wales
Say what?In Wales, “rubbish” means garbage, cookies are “biscuits,” gasoline is called “petrol,” and a “lorry” is a truck.English
If you travel west in the United Kingdom, through England and below Scotland, you’ll end up in the small country of Wales. Almost three million people live in Wales. No matter where you go, you’ll see beautiful landscapes, because Wales has tall
shipping ports in the world.
In sports…Rugby is so popular that it is considered the national sport of Wales.

Their world-famous paintings, drawings, and sculptures are on display all around the world.Yikes!The lively tarantella (tah-rahn-TEHL-lah), a traditional Italian folk
dance, was once believed to cure the bite of a tarantula spider.

In addition to soccer (called football in Italy), Italians love to bowl, but they do it outside…

for the country that’s shaped like a boot! The land is very
mountainous and even has some of the world’s only active
volcanoes. Its capital is the ancient city of Rome, the largest in
the country and one of the most famous cities in history. Over
58 million people live in Italy.
Bravissimo!Have you ever noticed that most musical terms are in Italian?
That’s because Italians invented musical notation. They also
developed opera, and invented both the piano and the violin.

(December 21st, a busy street corner at the North Pole. There are three building exteriors in view — theSweet Shoppe downstage right, Santa’s Workshop downstage left, and the Elf family home upstage center.It is evening, and all of the Elves are headed home after a very long day at work. The voice of NannyClaus is heard just before the downbeat.)
NANNY: (offstage) Can you imagine what the North Pole is like during the month of December? There’s so much to do, so many jobs, and so many things to remember. Now, while the elves are bustling about and getting their Christmas work done, Do you suppose they ever take time to enjoy it, or have any fun?

Johannes BrahmsYo-hahn‘-us Brahmz
born May 7, 1833, Hamburg, Germanydied April 3, 1897, Vienna, Austria
A Composer of the Romantic EraJohannes Brahms, the son of an orchestral string bass player, was not a good student in school. But he excelled at the piano. He studied at first with a friend of his father, and later with the most respected music teacher in Hamburg, Germany. Johannes helped his family financially by playing popular music in dance halls. By the age of sixteen he was performing throughout Europe as a concert pianist. During his concert tours, Brahms met many famous musicians and composers who recognized his outstanding musical talent. He became friends with another composer, Robert Schumann. At twenty-one, he took a position as conductor of a municipal orchestra in Detwold, Germany.At Detwold, he began to devote more time to composition. In 1856 (age twenty-three), when his friend Robert Schumann died, Brahms moved to Düsseldorf, Germany to console Schumann’s widow, Clara. He eventually fell in love with her. Brahms and Clara Schumann remained in love for forty years but never married. He relied on her advice and musical expertise throughout his career as a composer.From 1859 to 1862 Brahms served as conductor of various
orchestras. He finally settled in Vienna, Austria, where he lived for the rest of his life. Here he composed, conducted
orchestras and choirs, and taught piano. Except for occasional tours as a concert pianist, Brahms lived a rather ordinary life in Vienna.He began devoting more time to composing, but it wasn’t until 1873 (age forty) that he had his first success, with a work for orchestra entitled Variations on a Theme by Haydn.He also was continuing work on a symphony which he had begun in 1854. This First Symphony was finally performed in 1876, twenty-two years after Brahms began composing it. He was now forty-three years old. Between 1877 and 1884 Brahms wrote three more symphonies, several concertos, and several pieces of chamber music. For the last twenty years of his life, Brahms continued composing music in all forms except opera. He was recognized throughout Europe as a distinguished composer and honored by his adopted country, Austria. Many young composers moved to Vienna to study with him. He spent summers in the country outside of Vienna. During these summers he did much of his composing. He was very disciplined as a composer and worked hard at perfecting his craft.
In Vienna, Brahms lived a simple life, spending most of his time in a small, three room apartment. He was very sociable and had many friends, but never wanted to be the center of attention. He dressed shabbily, often in cheap, worn clothing, but he was a shrewd businessman with his music. After his death, he left an estate worth more than $100,000, most of it from royalties on his published music. That was a huge amount of money for a composer who achieved little success until the age of forty.
Famous Works:His four symphonies — for orchestraRequiem — for chorus and orchestraViolin Concerto — for violin and orchestraHis songs (there were more than 200)His choral music
