This song was originally titled "The Carol of the Drum", written by Katherine Davis, a college music teacher and composer, in 1941.The song wasn't popular until about 1959. Mrs.Davis passed on in 1980. I learned this from another RU-vid video. " The Story Behind 'Little Drummer Boy'". I think I like the original title better.
Brings back many memories of my pipe band playing days. I have mostly Celtic and Gaelic blood. Last time I played my pipes was for my maternal grandmother, who was from Edinburgh, Scotland, at her funeral. We were very close. I sure do miss her.
I agree. The mire magnitude of assembling all these children to sing this song is incredible. I didn't think it was going to be all that great: Wrong..it made me teary eyed, too. Thumb's UP. Thanks.
I am a descendant of Reverend Willaim Murray (Penicuik) New Zealand and descendant to Dean Families pioneer era New Zealand, NSW, QLD... I cried with tears happily looking at this lovely music.
This is the best arrangement I've ever seen Amazing The switch from melody to harmony with the bagpipe is just incredibly emotional I'm a grown man and 1:57 and onwards instantly brought me to tears Well done And thank you
I love this. My very favorite Christmas song. The fact that 622 people down voted this blows my mind. This song is meant for children to sing and the bagpipe!
Ten million applause for this choir singing my Favourite Christmas song, another million for those bagpipes and OMG the piper played Brilliantly!!!! Not leaving out the young man on the drum here's more for him.... Watching this last year brought a tear to my eye ... Watching and hearing again this year, another tear only more so.... I hope I'm still around to shed more tears when I watch it again next year. Those who disliked are, as Stuart O'Neill has commented earlier are "heartless", I pray for them because... They know not what they do!
At first I thought this was a small venue, what with the sound of the snare drum from the distance of the camera, but on that fast pan out on the camera, wow. No small stage at all.
This song really is my favorite.. its the tTRUE MEANING OF REALLY GIVING .. ( I PLAYED MY BEST FOR HIM ) Thats what we should do .. Give it your Best & Give from the Heart ..
WOW! How wonderful was that! I loved it! A great group of children boys and girls singing and praising baby Jesus Christ to honor Him around the world! And drums too! You all awesome! From USA Arizona Peace and Joy ♥️to you .
