about

This lively piece is based on the old French carol 'Patapan'. The lyrics open with a call to pick up your instruments (in this case a fife and drum) and come and celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus. I imagine it to an invitiation to the shepherds to come and join the celebrations although I'm not quite sure where that idea came from. Nevertheless, it seems fitting and I'm sure you'll hear the folk inspired melodies and the drum references. Enjoy!

Sheet music also available please just ask.
