More about this title
Why we love this
An 80-minute narrative work that gives string orchestras genuine theatrical ownership of a beloved story. The substitution of a baritone Miracle Man for the traditional Fairy Godmother opens up dramatic possibilities while the inclusion of ballet sequences, onstage and offstage choruses, and magical effects transforms a string orchestra into a complete musical theater force.
What to expect
A story told through shimmering string textures and sweeping orchestral colors, punctuated by moments of genuine magic. The baritone voice emerges as an agent of transformation, grounded in the orchestra's support. Moments of dance lighten the narrative, while the overall arc builds toward the familiar emotional satisfaction of the Cinderella tale.
Who it's for
String orchestras seeking a full-length theatrical work that doesn't require winds or brass. Directors wanting to give advanced students experience with extended narrative scoring, theatrical pacing, and collaboration with soloists and dancers.
How to get the most out of it
- Treat the baritone soloist as a true character rather than a voice floating above the orchestra; balance the vocal line so it drives the narrative forward while strings provide textured support, not accompaniment.
- Plan your staging for the ballet sequences well in advance. Coordinate with dancers or staging designers early enough that the orchestra's pacing accommodates movement without rushing or dragging.
- Use the offstage chorus moments to create spatial depth; positioning singers away from the main stage heightens the magical atmosphere and gives your string players visual focus points.
- Pay particular attention to dynamic control during the magical effects cues. Strings often carry these moments, so ensemble precision and careful attention to articulation will make technical effects land theatrically.
How to use it
This work functions as a complete concert event or the centerpiece of a spring season focused on narrative music theater. It also offers a compelling alternative to standard symphony programming when you want to showcase orchestral storytelling to a broader audience while keeping the musical demands within reach of developing string ensembles.
Skills your students will build
