This unique arrangement of Pat-a-pan reimagines the traditional French carol as a lively sea shanty for flute choir, bringing a fresh, nautical twist to the beloved tune. The piece captures the rhythmic drive and communal spirit of a sea shanty, while maintaining the charm and playfulness of the original carol, making it an exciting journey across the waves of sound.

To accommodate varying ensembles, Flute 1 and Alto Flute parts include optional ossia passages, ensuring that the main melodic material can be effectively covered in the absence of a Piccolo. This flexibility allows for a seamless performance, preserving the dynamic essence of the arrangement.
