MUNICIPAL THEATRE, HASTINGS
24th and 25th SEPTEMBER

LADIES & GENTLEMEN
BOYS & GIRLS,

A very warm welcome to you all. It is our hope that you will enjoy thoroughly our Music Festival ‘74

Once again we are proud and pleased to be associated with ‘Save the Children’ Organisation. It seems most appropriate that needy children both here and overseas will benefit by the musical efforts of our children and supporting artists.

We are fortunate indeed to have our Musical Director, Mrs. Ngaire Shand, whose talent and skill have been available to the school for many years – this is her ninth production.

A special ‘Thank You’ also to our supporting artists, the Directors of the Maori Culture Group, the ‘back-stage’ staff and the hundreds of children who have practised so hard to ensure the success of the evening.

P.J. McCARTHY
HEADMASTER

‘Save The Children’ are delighted to be associated with this School Music Festival ’74 Heretaunga Intermediate School staff and pupils have supported the work of ‘Save The Children’ most generously over a long period.

As Ngaire Shand’s musical talents are widely known, we can expect to enjoy a variety of musical talent and hope to forward a useful donation to help children in extreme need. Children so willingly helping children whom they recognise as lacking many of the things they take for granted is very encouraging.

WHERE IT IS WORKING
Vietnam, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Korea, Hong Kong, Morocco, Algeria, Kenya, India, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Laos, Cambodia, Fiji, and in New Zealand.

HOW IT IS FINANCED
By contributions from the British Commonwealth.
Donations from New Zealand exceed all other countries per capita.
$20,000 is spent each day.

‘SAVE THE CHILDREN’ HAS A HEART FOR CHILDREN EVERYWHERE – HAVE YOU?

PROGRAMME NOTES

DANIEL JAZZ
This Cantata, consisting of Vachell Lindsay’s Poem set to music by Herbert Chappell, was especially written for 10-13 year old children.

The Story:
King Darius was a bad-tempered monarch with nasty habits – such as feeding Christians to his cage of pet Lions. Daniel, on the other hand – assisted in this version by a wide selection of Biblical characters – was a pleasant lad, always eager to please and ready to lend a helping hand around the palace. “He works hard enough”, said the King, “but he talks too much religion for my liking.” And before you could say “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednege [Abednego]” the lad was given the sack and thrown in amongst the lions. Prowling and growling around him, the beasts licked their lips, and as they chanted “We want Daniel, Daniel, Daniel”, the lions got hungrier and hungrier and hungrier.

Daniel, strange as it may seem, was not at all worried by the situation, but kept looking up at the sky confident that the situation was not as desperate as it seemed. “Grrrrrrrrr”, growled the lions as they moved in on him. Closer and closer they came, and all this time Daniel’s girlfriend was praying and praying as hard as she could. “Bite him, bite him” roared the lions. “Lord save him”, cried Daniel’s mother. And just in time their prayers were answered. Who should appear but the Angel Gabriel, and in a flash the lions were chained down and Daniel stepped out of the cage unharmed. (The King was so impressed by it all that he gave Daniel back his job – which in the circumstances was quite regal of him.)
Herbert Chappell

SUMMERTIME
From Porgy and Bess by George Gershwin – a well known lullaby, sung by Clara lulling her child to sleep.

MAN OF LA MANCHA
Based on the story of Don Quixote. Don Quixote and his servant, Sancho, sing this duet as they ride their horses.

JONATHON LIVINGSTON SEAGULL
Words and music by Neil Diamond from the Original Motion Picture Sound Track – the film by Hall Bartlett. This film is based on the story of Jonathon Livingston Seagull written by Richard Bach.

THE DRINKING SONG
Violetta, a courtesan, is receiving guests in her drawing room. Alfred is introduced and they sing this duet with the guests who have gathered.

THE PILGRIMS CHORUS
One of ‘THE’ famous Opera choruses sung by the pilgrims returning home from their pilgrimage to Rome.

CHILDREN ARE CHILDREN
After much discussion and reading on the top of ‘Save The Children’ this song was composed by a small group of Form 1 and 2 children last year. It became a popular singing number with the remainder of the School and it was decided that it was appropriate to close our ‘Save The Children Festival 1974’ again with this song.

CHILDREN ARE CHILDREN

Children are children no matter their race
And children are children no matter the place,
Learning to live with one another
Treating your enemies as your brother.

Verse 1.
Scorched remains cover the land,
Once rich soil is now burnt sand
Hit by tidal wave, famine and war,
Destroying their homeland, happy no more

Verse 2
At Vietnam they fight with greed,
They kill without care for age or creed,
Deprived of all the good things in life,
Forced to live with war and strife.

Verse 3
And yet we live from day to day
Well fed not hungry we make our way
But we should think of those without
and peace and friendship stand throughout.

PROGRAMME COVER:

The Art department ran a competition for a programme cover design. The children were asked to design a cover which would indicate the association of music and ‘Save The Children’. From many entries Susan McPherson’s design was considered to be the most appropriate.
