Two Different Worlds Searching for the Truth A Dramatic Christmas Musical Script by WALTER L. BLACK Arranged and Orchestrated by DAVID T. CLYDESDALE Following the success of the Dove Award winning musical, A Baby Changes Everything, David T. Clydesdale brings Searching for the King, a one-of-a-kind dramatic Christmas musical. A dynamic contemporary story parallels the biblical story delivering a message as powerful as the prophets and as relevant as today’s headlines. Walter L. Black’s exciting script juxtaposes one of the Magi (Mordecai) as he follows the Star of Bethlehem, with Benjamin, a soldier stationed in the Middle East 2,000 years later who is looking up at the same stars. They are both searching for the truth, and they both find it at the foot of the manger. The musical requires only six actors (3 male and 3 female) and features an engaging scene for children’s choir as well as a thrilling mix of new songs and beloved carols. A detailed production manual and optional DVD will ensure that Searching for the King will deliver the heart of Christmas to your congregation and community. Song Titles: Glory to the Newborn King with Hail to the King! ● Searching for a King ● Morning Star with Emmanuel ● It Was a Starry Night ● This Is God ● Beautiful One with Sing, Sing, Sing ● Searching for the King (Reprise) ● What Will You Do? ● Peace ● Hail to the King! with Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and Joy to the World! DIFFICULTY LEVEL:

A unique and extremely useful concept for a Christmas cantata, this lovely work by Robert Sterling may be used in various ways. The entire work, including the Christmas Intrada and four suites, each containing original and familiar music and divided by poignant narrative, may be used in one presentation. However, it has been designed for each of the four suites to be used on any or all of the Sundays of Advent and Christmas. The cantata is scored for choir, soloists and keyboard, or it may be presented with chamber orchestra accompaniment. A moving and versatile offering!

Here comes the judge! Bethlehem court is in session with the Honorable Judge Jody Justice presiding. It's The People vs. a certain "reluctant" innkeeper...reluctant to give a certain young couple a room for the night, that is. Sam Shepherd is the prosecuting attorney who's out to get to the bottom of this case by calling key animal witnesses to the stand. It's eventually revealed that the greatest miracle of all happened the night before, and God can always turn things around for good! Perfect for grades K-4, this 20-minute, easy-to-prepare and present musical can be performed with as few as eight children or many more.
OUR JOY AND HEARTS’ DELIGHT
The verdict is in...The Case of the Reluctant Innkeeper will delight and inspire your church and community with the joyous message of Christmas!
