Baa! is a light-hearted, predominantly unison cantata for children which tells the Christmas story in a rather unconventional way. With photocopyable lyrics, free CD and optional narration, it is particularly suitable for children aged 8 Ð 13 and includes Caesar Augustus working as a bureaucrat in local government, a manic census and a flock of sheep counting shepherds in an attempt to get to sleep. Tongue-in-cheek but not irreverent, the piece introduces the Christmas story in a humorous way and aims to provide a springboard for discussion as well as a vehicle for school and church productions. The most important elements of any successful performance of this work are energy, enthusiasm and a sense of humour.
