Product Description

First published in 1720, this timeless French Christmas Carol attempts to portray the sense of joy and celebration surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ via a shepherd and his son playing the flute and drum. The word patapan is thought to imitate the sound of a drum, which is a prominent instrument in the piece. The repetitive and lively melody perfectly captures the jubilant spirit of Christmas.
