About Classroom Cantatas

These two cantatas were written and performed by the Ellis Mendell Elementary School 2nd Grade classes as part of “Classroom Cantatas,” an educational program of Cantata Singers. Working with musicians from Cantata Singers in weekly sessions, the students sang together, discussed the components of song writing, and met in small groups to write new songs. The groups then learned each other’s songs and rehearsed them, resulting in a new cantata, a collection of songs on one topic. The students performed their cantata for other participating urban Boston schools on a field trip to Roland Hayes School of Music in Roxbury where all the cantatas were recorded and put on CD for each student. By performing their cantata for their families, school community and other participating schools, the students experienced the unique accomplishment of sharing original work with an audience. Each student receives a souvenir copy of this piano-vocal score.

Cantata Singers was founded in 1964 to present what was then a long-neglected repertoire, the cantatas of J.S. Bach. Since that time, the group has expanded its repertoire to include choral works from the seventeenth century to the present day. The Cantata Singers’ recordings and performances can be heard regularly on local and national public radio. For much more about Cantata Singers, visit our website: www.cantatasingers.org.
