YANOMAMO
The delicate balance of nature is being systematically eroded and soon the rainforests, which are crucial to the world's eco-system, will disappear. Is there the time or the will to save them? The Yanomamo indians have lived in the Amazon rainforest for over twenty thousand years. Unlike our own civilisation which uses natural resources with little thought for the future, they have a way of life which, undisturbed, could survive with the forest for the next twenty thousand years and more.
AFRICAN JIGSAW
African Jigsaw concerns itself with the continuing problem of urbanisation in developing countries, its effects on traditional ways of life and the casualties left in its wake. African Jigsaw does not pretend the solution is a simple one. But seeing the pieces of the jigsaw may help young and old alike to come to an understanding of the situation and, perhaps, to draw their own conclusions on its rights and wrongs.
OCEAN WORLD Ocean World issues a cry for help on behalf of the inhabitants of the sea. A female humpback whale invites us into her underwater home and introduces some of the other creatures with whom she shares the ocean including the turtle, the octopus and her cousin, the dolphin. We observe her joy as her new-born calf arrives and the two begin their perilous journey to northern feeding grounds.
ARABICA This musical tells the intriguing story of the history, production and trading of coffee. We are introduced to the Ethiopian goatherd Khaldi whose billygoat discovered the magic of the coffee bean. However, the main character is Arabica, the 'queen of coffee beans’, who discovers that she is much more deeply involved in the problems of the modern world than she ever realised.
ONE SUN ONE WORLD
Commissioned by WWF-UK for their 50th Anniversary celebrations, One Sun One World celebrates our astonishing planet in all its rich diversity, but also examines the changes brought about by human activities in a modern world. The oak tree, the panda, the polar bear, the tiger and Cacao (the chocolate plant) remind us of the great wonders and beauties of the earth and the intricate threads of life linking every living thing. The children of the world tell us about the amazing web of trade and communication which has produced our exciting modern world with its global transport systems and its ever-changing technology.
SONG OF CREATION Written for CAFOD, this musical celebrates the wonders of creation, exploring the life-giving forces of earth, air and water and charting the awesome splendour of human achievement. Song of Creation also looks to the future. As the human spirit continues its drive to create a better world, who will benefit and who will pay the price?
DAUGHTERS OF PENDLE
Not an environmental musical but a gripping piece of social history. This full length dramatic musical tells the tragic story of the Pendle Witches. Demdyke, Chattox and their poor, hapless family were sent to trial, deemed to be witches and sentenced to death, condemned by the hysterical evidence of a young teenage girl.
THE CONVERSION JOB A Musical/Cantata by Peter Rose & Anne Conlon The lighthearted story of Augustine’s mission to bring Christianity to England. How will the monks cope with the English weather? What will Queen Bertha make of forty Italian men dressed in very strange clothes? Will her husband, tree-worshipping King Ethelbert, allow them to stay?
THE STORY The story begins in AD 583 in a market place in Rome where Gregory – soon to be Pope – was horrified to see a group of English slaves for sale. He took pity on them, freed them and converted them to Christianity. A few years later, when he was Pope, he asked the monk Augustine to make a missionary journey to England.
Augustine, with some reservations, agreed to Gregory’s request and soon set off with forty eager volunteer helpers. Their journey was so long and difficult Augustine’s followers, worried about their likely reception in England, gradually became disheartened and afraid and wanted to return to Rome. Gregory, however, urged them to carry on.
In the Spring of 597 they arrived at the coast of Kent and landed on Thanet Isle. There they waited, hoping that Ethelbert, the King of Kent, would allow them to continue. To their surprise, Ethelbert and his wife, Bertha, came to meet them and listened intently to every word Augustine had to say.
Whilst not prepared to commit himself to the new faith, Ethelbert did let them stay, giving them a home and allowing them to preach. In just a few months, the monks made so many converts that on Christmas day 597, ten thousand people, including the King, were baptised. The monks went on to establish a cathedral and a monastery in Canterbury and by the time Augustine died, Christianity was firmly established in England.
We know about this great conversion because of the writings of The Venerable Bede (673-735). He spent his life reading, studying, praying and writing in the Monastery of St Paul in Jarrow, Northumberland. He knew the details extremely well and is just the right person to tell us ‘this wonderful story of friendship and fear, courage and glory’.
THE CHARACTERS The Conversion Job is a humorous re-telling of Bede’s story and revolves around the following main characters:
Speaking Only: The Venerable Bede (Narrator) Acting/Singing: Gregory, Augustine, The Monks Acting Only: Ethelbert, The King of Kent and Bertha, The Queen of Kent
The chorus can, if necessary, adopt a variety of roles, including the Market People, the Slave Sellers and their Slaves, the Sailors, the People of Kent and the Courtiers.
PERFORMING THE WORK
The première of The Conversion Job involved over 300 children and the original school week-long production proved so popular that it was restaged later to an audience of 2000 in one of England’s largest concert halls! Much of the dramatic action was mimed whilst the school’s large choir (in Greek Chorus style) performed the songs.
Other performances, presented in a variety of creative ways, have since been given by much smaller groups with equal success. Feel free to adapt the work to suit the dramatic, musical and numerical resources of your performers. All vocal harmony parts (SS/SA) are optional and in some of the songs, verses may be omitted at the director’s discretion.
Whatever way you decide to present the The Conversion Job, Peter and Anne hope that you and your cast have as much fun performing it as they themselves have had in writing it!
SCENE 1:
A MARKET PLACE IN ROME AD 583
BEDE: NARRATIVE 1
My name is Bede, a monk of some note, Known to this day for the history I wrote. Long, long ago I spent my days In reading, studying, prayer and praise. And now I am here with a wonderful story Of friendship and fear, courage and glory. There’s a pope and some monks, a king and a queen – But first let us start by setting the scene.
ENTER MARKET PEOPLE, SLAVES, SLAVE SELLERS AND GREGORY
1. GREGORY IN THE MARKET PLACE (Market People)
1. In a busy market in Italy, In the year of Christ, five eighty three, There were many amazing things to see, And famous Pope Gregory saw them all.
2. There were men selling food, all very fine, Figs, grapes and oranges and fishes in brine, Olive oil, pizzas, salami and wine, Apricots and almonds from Palestine.
3. There were men selling deer, camels and cows, Leaping goats, huddled sheep and lazy sows, Horses for farmers and oxen for ploughs, And famous Pope Gregory saw them all.
4. Weary donkeys bearing huge sacks, Monkeys chattering on old sailors' backs, Stray dogs snarling foraging in packs, Flea-ridden rats lurking darkly in cracks, O!
5. Rag-clad children staring dismayed, Beggars bitterly appealing for aid, Pickpockets sharing out the profits they have made And Gregory saw them all.
6. And among the people crowding the scene Were the fair, the ugly, the fat and the lean, The old and the young and the in between And famous Pope Gregory saw them all.
BEDE: NARRATIVE 2 With a cheerful heart, the Pope turned away But a pitiful scene compelled him to stay: A group of slaves from far, far away, Just one more thing for sale that day. They stood there, lost in that noisy throng, Silent, dejected, dignified, strong, With their blue eyes bright and their fair hair long, But on their lips neither laughter nor song.
2. ANGLES FOR SALE (Slave Sellers)
Angles for sale! New in today! They‘re a most attractive offer. Never been a better offer. Men going cheap! Not to be missed! Free one if you buy a dozen. Put them on your list! (Shouted)
1. They will maker your life much easier if you buy them. They will make your work much lighter. Why not try them? They’ll get through the jobs like lightning. Their great strength is almost frightening. Your horizon will be brightening if you buy them!
Angles for sale...
2. They can carry heavier burdens than a donkey. They will swiftly mend your chariot if it’s wonky! They will chop wood for your brother. They will wash up for your mother. They’ll be better than another lazy donkey!
Angles for sale...
BEDE: NARRATIVE 3
Gregory could bear this patter no more. "They're not Angles but Angels of God!" he swore, "And such pagan angels should hear Christ's call." And saintly Pope Gregory bought them all.
Gregory went home with an anguished mind, And for years in Rome he sighed and he pined, And in five ninety six, “Good God,” he thought, “That whole pagan nation must be taught.”

3. DO AS I PLEASE (Augustine) 1. Do as I please. Sit here at ease, Saying my prayers in the shade of the trees. When work is done, laze in the sun. Life is such fun for a monk or a nun! I‘m such a happy man. A splendid life I lead. I'm such a happy man. From worldly troubles I'm freed.
2. Nothing's a chore. Nothing's a bore. Picking the strawberries, scrubbing the floor, Lighting the fire, training the choir, Life as a monk is the life I desire! * I’m such a happy man. A splendid life I lead. I'm such a happy man. From worldly troubles I'm freed! * Optional descant - Monks: He’s a happy man, such a happy man. Life’s no problem at all! Mustn’t it be grand letting life go by? He’s so happy and carefree!)
3. Visiting farms, handing out alms, Writing the manuscript, singing the psalms, No need to pine. Plenty of wine. I'd recommend it. My life is divine!
BEDE: NARRATIVE 5 A life divine! What a wonderful scene… … With a plan which would change Augustine’s day

BEDE - NARRATIVE 6These forty good monks, with no further delay, At last they were ready! Time to depart! Prepared for their trip and were soon on their way. A thrill of excitement in each humble heart!They were eager to stand by Augustine, their friend, With the Alps in their sights and their legs feeling strong,Though they'd little idea how the journey would end. They journeyed through Tuscany, singing this song:

BEDE - NARRATIVE 7These monks, used to sun, were afraid of the snow. Tired out by the mountains, their progress was slow.They huddled together as the howling wind blew And tried to decide what on earth they should do.Their courage was failing; their excitement had fled And the journey ahead filled their spirits with dread.

BEDE - NARRATIVE 8Augustine was grieved by the things he had heard. Gregory was moved when he heard all their fears.He left all his friends with hardly a word. He spoke of the plan he had cherished for years.Slowly and sadly he went back to Rome He said all their doubts were foolish and vainAnd silence and solitude brought him home. And begged them continue the Lord's campaign.
(Re-enter Augustine)
The words that Augustine brought back from the Pope Restored the monks' faith, their love and their hope. Obedient and humble, with no backward glance, They strolled down the mountainside bound for La France.

BEDE - NARRATIVE 11The great procession left at once along the lanes of Kent: The King, the Queen and the monks from Rome, the men the Pope had sent.Imagine what a scene they made, the King in all his might. The forty monks in contrast must have seemed a sorry sight.So weary and so travel-sore, so humble and so few, Who could know these peaceful men would change the world they knew?

Canterbury March was written as an instrumental accompaniment to a Grand Procession after the song Ethelbert and Bertha 2. The fanfare heralds King Ethelbert and Queen Bertha who lead the procession, closely followed by their Royal Courtiers, Augustine and Monks and the People of Kent. The music is printed here in its full version but should be cut to suit the occasion and, of course, the space available for such a procession. Sections of the music may also be played effectively before or/and after the performance.
