Product Description

March of a Different Drummer is an arrangement of the Old French (Burgundian) Christmas Carol Patapan, written by Bernard de La Monnoye in 1700 and published in 1720. The carol employed onomatopoeia, to imitate both the sound of a drum (pa-ta-pan) as well as a fife (tu-re-lu-re-lu). Simple instruments such as these are often seen in paintings that depict Christs humble birth. My interest in this carol goes back to my early years when as a young percussionist I had the privilege of playing the snare drum solo in an orchestral arrangement at a school Christmas Concert. With so much of todays choral music employing vocal percussion, I like to think that de La Monnoye was truly ahead of his time!
