The easy piano duet arrangement of the 1958 Christmas carol The Little Drummer Boy provides piano students (mid beginner to early intermediate) the opportunity to play and enjoy well crafted arrangements for recitals, prayer services and church services. Composed in an accessible key for singing, piano students could accompany their choir in concert.
Note Worthy
Use of triplets in four measures in both primo and secondo parts replicate a drum pattern - reinforcing triplet use in simple meter.
