Composed by Paul Addison, Marian Kurzdorfer, and Karen Kurzdorfer. Arranged by Paul Addison. Children,Religious. Score. 59 pages. Paul Addison #862749. Published by Paul Addison (A0.1270338).This musical tells a story of what life might have been like for Jesus at the age of 12. He learns lessons from the scriptures in synagogue school, including the Creation, the Ten Commandments, and the stories of Samson and David. He has dinner with his family, and his sisters ask about the role of women in the home and in the culture. He discusses learning a trade with his father Joseph. Then the family takes a trip to Jerusalem for the Passover feast, and it is there that Jesus talks with the rabbis and scholars about the deeper meaning of the scriptures. They ask, “Who is this boy?”, to which the women reply, “His name is Jesus”.
The songs are at an easy level, mostly with single-line melodies. There is one rap song, “Rabbi’s Rap”, which could be accompanied by a beat-box sound. There is also a medley, “Who Is This Boy? / His Name is Jesus”, in which the scholars and teachers sing two verses, the women’s chorus sings two verses, and then they sing together.
The musical runs about 40 minutes.
