As broadcast on Classic FM (Britain's top Classical radio station): a vibrant and moving one-act opera for children, solo baritone and tenor with chamber orchestra or piano accompaniment. The solo parts can be sung by either adults or young performers and the work can be performed as a cantata or fully staged. An ancient bard and a band of Wee Folk (mischievous Scottish elves) recount an extraordinary 17th century Scottish tale of the clans MacNab and MacNeish. The opera is a morality tale that ultimately promotes friendship and co-operation. Duration c. 45 minutes.
