Based on historical fact, this refreshing musical takes place in Austria and tells how the carol Silent Night came to be written. As winter closes in, Barny the church mouse chews the organ bellows to curb his hunger. When the organ no longer plays all the notes, Barny fears that he has spoilt Christmas for the villagers, but there is a way round the problem! This work contains songs, dance, narration and dialogue, and is suitable for perormance in church or school. There is a lagre cast list, with four principal characters plus narrator. Duration: 30 mins.
Arranged for piano and vocals, with guitar chord symbols. Teachers book and accompanying cassette available. On Side A of the cassette, vocals are included. On Side B they are omitted for rehearsal/performance purposes.
