The City and the Moon

Contents

Cantata for children's choir (from 5 years of age upwards), child soloist, narrator and instrumental quartet (string or woodwind).
It speaks (or rather sings) of one of the contradictions that endure in many places in our cities: diversity and loneliness dwelling side by side. The cantata introduces a group of children who, as recent arrivals in the neighbourhood, feel lonely. The appearance of some extraordinary, mysterious stones and clashes with a number of characters in the district lead the children to find themselves and to stick together, with the moon looking on all the while in tacit approval.
