Melodious Monday | Patapan


[ if you don't know what this link party is all about, read the introduction ] 
 
 
 
When I was nine or ten, I participated in a five-hand piano arrangement of the French Christmas carol PataPan, and since then it has remained one of my favorite holiday songs, especially after hearing the version sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in their Christmas album from 2000. I love the thought of humble little shepherd boys playing their drums for the Christ Child. The lyrics address the harmony between the fife & drum and God & His children perfectly, and the music accompanies the words so beautifully.

    I'd have to say my favorite Christmas song is the hymn "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel".

    I LOVE that one. I'll actually be sharing a link to my favorite version later on! Do you have a specific arrangement that you love?

    I love Christmas music! I've been working on a YouTube playlist of my current favorites (they change every year, I think!) That said, my all-time favorite Christmas song is Carol of the Bells. The aforementioned playlist has about half a dozen different renditions. It makes me happy.

    That was has always been hauntingly-beautiful to me. It was one of the first Christmas songs I learned to play on the piano!
