“The Highwayman” is a popular narrative poem set in 18th century rural England, and is well-known for its vivid imagery and tragic love-story. Written by Alfred Noyes and first published in 1906, it became the author’s most successful work, and is now studied at Key Stage 2 and 3 as part of the National Curriculum in England, as well as at schools and colleges elsewhere in the UK and around the world. In this "Micromusical" adaption, the story is presented using Noyes' original text alongside exciting and evocative new songs by Christopher Norton.
Testimonials
The micro-musicals have enriched our curriculum and have enabled the topics taught in class to come alive. Through the micro-musicals, the children have gained a deeper and broader understanding of the curriculum and have developed a bank of rich language, which has supported their writing outcomes. The micro-musicals have provided an excellent opportunity to teach music through all areas of the curriculum and we have been able to use music as a platform to learn history, science, geography and literature. They have been a good value for money and a valuable resource.
