The origin of Pat a Pan dates back to 1720s France. The lyrics were originally Burgundian and reflected a shepherds account of the nativity. The simple instruments available to tenders of the flock such as flutes and drums are referenced and imitated throughout the carol. This thematic material lends itself perfectly to percussion instruments and even when sung, the rhythm and the accents drive the melody from beginning to end. This arrangement attempts to capture the spirit of classic fantasy pieces, taking the listener through a variety of moods without the piece ever losing energy. The scoring features as few as 5 or as many as 9 percussionists, and only standard instruments are required. It is dedicated to all lovers of the holiday season.
