Little Drummer Boy - Peace on Earth is a Christmas song originally performed by English singer-songwriter David Bowie and American singer Bing Crosby. Recorded on 11 September 1977 near London for Crosby's television special Bing Crosby's Merrie Olde Christmas, the song features Crosby singing 1941 standard The Little Drummer Boy while Bowie sings the counterpoint tune Peace on Earth, written by the special's musical supervisors Ian Fraser and Larry Grossman, and scriptwriter Buz Kohan, specifically for the collaboration. The duet was one of Crosby's final recordings before his death in October 1977 and was one of Bowie’s most successful singles.

This sensitive and colourful orchestration features all sections across the concert band, is a pleasure to perform and will enhance any festive programme.
