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 and includes piano accompaniment.  It is an imaginative and atmospheric work, depicting the 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.
The Spotlight Series represents a variety of imaginative repertoire for stage or concert performance, from Key Stage 1 to 3.  Some of the cantatas provide scope for creativity through the addition of movement, whilst others are fully contained 'mini-musicals'.  Written appropriately for the age group by experienced educational composers, here are songs and shows to suit all abilities and ages.
