| Program Notes | An Adventure at Grannie’s is a musical dramatization of a familiar fable (which the audience will recognize as the story unfolds). The Narrator portrays a variety of roles (the wolf, the child, the woodcutters and Grannie herself). Therefore, some simple costuming elements are suggested. A gray hat (or set of ears!) might do for the wolf. A red bonnet or kerchief around the neck could represent the child. For the woodcutters, the Narrator might grab a (toy) axe, or (better yet!), don a hard hat! And for Grannie, a nightcap which could be a shower cap would suffice. As the story is told, each time that a specific character speaks, or is referred to, the Narrator puts on the appropriate costume items. [It is suggested that the various hats or props be placed on a music stand near the Narrator, for handy grabbing.] When the wolf disguises himself as Grannie, the shower cap can be placed over the wolf ears. The pianist need not wear a costume. However, an outfit which has both red and gray colors would be very appropriate. The narration and piano motives should integrate quickly and smoothly, so that the speaking leads directly into the musical expression with minimal pause. |
