School choir with blue light and alibi

"Crime time, it's crime time again, and we're looking forward to theft, kidnapping, blackmail and murder. Crime time - a new case, highly dubious, the police still clueless, but the inspector remains cool." This is how the short musical for one-part choir, two speakers and piano begins. Crime thriller on stage! Suspense is the order of the day - blue light and alibi included. By the way, Max is the culprit, that much can already be revealed here. But will he be caught? By whom?

Crime time is funny and has drive. Fast-paced and musically adept, it leads us through the imaginary TV crime thriller evening, interrupted by commercials, just like on real television. The short spoken texts and the vivid turns of phrase in the song lyrics offer opportunities for small scenic productions. Children and young people aged 11 and over are in demand as singers, actors and murderers.

The series Children's choir at Fidula by Uli Führe now has eleven volumes, the latest of which continues the fairy tale Hans in Luck in music. Each volume is stylistically and thematically unique, but all volumes combine music (choir and ensemble) with literature and scene.
