ACT ONE: Song 11. The King, by Dennis McCorkle, is a contemporary pop-rock musical of the first two kings of Israel, Saul ben Kish and David ben Jesse and explores the contrasting lives and outcome of each man’s choices in life. [1 Samuel 16:11 - And Samuel said to Jesse: ‘Are here all your children?’ And he said: ‘There remains yet the youngest, and, behold, he tends the sheep.’ And Samuel said unto Jesse: ‘Send and fetch him; for we will not sit down till he come here.’] [Psalm 23 Sacred Melody of David. YAHWEH is My Shepherd I shall not want] SAMUEL leaves SAUL and goes to the house of Jesse in Bethlehem where he chooses DAVID and anoints him as king. DAVID returns to the field and his sheep, trying to understand the meaning of the previous events [Pastures of Green – David and Ensemble]. The next morning, his father Jessie sends one of his servants to ask DAVID to take provisions to his brothers who are on the front line with SAUL engaged in a fierce battle with the Philistines. David leaves the sheep with the servant and goes off to the battlefield. Also included with your order is our new 20 page catalog of over 150 titles at no additional charge.
