Comments
"We had a gr-r-r-eat time working with "Orlaff The Dragon". Lots of scope for varied movement and drama during each song. Several different emotions explored, from fierce and angry all the way through to gentle and thought-provoking. Quite a tear-jerker!"
Katharine Jones
"The children in East Lothian loved singing 'Orlaff'; it was easy to learn (both words and melody) and the story was appealing to the P3/4 age group. The children sang 'Orlaff' with the narration read by an adult and it made for a very successful concert performance."
Sheila Payne
"The highlight was the post interval singing of "Orlaff" The children so clearly enjoyed themselves... This work is perfect for the young Choristers, as it enables them to learn harmonies, hushed tones, staccato and loud singing and it deserves a wider hearing..."
