EBENEZER is a one-act musical based on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The music is a blend of hip-hop and traditional Christmas carols. The adaptation is suitable for performance by adults or teens alike. Four of the lead roles take on the greatest musical challenge with their rap numbers, but the choir parts are more generally accessible as they are based on familiar carols, making the musical appropriate for colleges, high schools, middle schools, church groups, and community theatre groups.

This libretto contains the full play script and vocal sheet music.  Purchase of this libretto kit entitles the purchaser to reproduce the appropriate number of copies for the cast and crew of the production.  Please note that royalties must also be paid for each performance (visit https://www.SamuelStokesMusic.com for royalty information).  The musical is scored for 2-part choir and rap soloists with MP3 accompaniment tracks (available separately). If desired, the musical can also be performed with unison choir singing the melody only. There is the also the optional opportunity for two violins to perform onstage and for a percussionist to play the chimes offstage (MP3 tracks are also available for these underscoring cues).

The musical demo available on this page is an excerpt from the number Jacob Marley - O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, in which Ebenezer Scrooge's former partner returns from the dead to warn him that he must change his ways or suffer the fate of eternally roaming the earth in chains. There is also a teaser video of this musical number at: https://youtu.be/4nPryAZUnDY

Composed by Christopher Benfield. Contemporary,Instructional,Standards. Octavo. 4 pages. Christopher Benfield #4291419. Published by Christopher Benfield (A0.909879).

A Farewell is an original composition by Christopher Benfield based on text by Charles Kingsly. This piece was written as a thank you and a goodbye to a school to which Benfield owed much, and this is reflected in the music's heart wrenching melody and accompaniment. This piece also has an easy piano accompaniment for teachers who need to conduct and play at the same time! Written for two part treble choir and piano, A Farewell is a good closer to a late elementary or early middle school choir, and will leave the audience in silent reverence.

Composed by Charles McCreery. 20th Century,Children. Octavo. 6 pages. St Maur Music #4822661. Published by St Maur Music (A0.1007138).

 This song is the second in a series of ‘Fourteen Tolkien Songs’. It is headed ‘1’ because it is preceded in the set by a Prologue: ‘Farewell We Call to Hearth and Hall’, which is also available from Sheet Music Plus.

 

A comment on the collection of Tolkien songs by an Oxford piano teacher:

‘For those who only know Tolkien via the recent blood-and-thunder films, this song-cycle by Charles McCreery will give a very different angle on the classic saga. Here we find a gentle and ethereal world, where rhythms lilt and words echo. The twelve songs, suitable for choir, evoke a dreamy, water-colour landscape with no harsh sounds, the tunes are singable and in a traditional style that Tolkien would surely have approved.

Dr Julia Gasper, LGSM

 

A general comment on Charles McCreery’s music by a violinist and composer in the USA:

‘Charles McCreery’s beautifully melodic, intricately textured compositions are infused with classical, romantic and folk idioms.’

Samantha Gillogly

 

‘The Fall of Gil-galad’ is appropriate for women’s choirs, children’s choirs, schools, music students generally, and anyone with a particular interest in the work of J.R.R. Tolkien.

The MP3 which plays from this page is of the orchestral version of the song. A video illustrating this orchestral version can be seen on YouTube. Search for the YouTube identity: stmaurmusic
