Patapan is a traditional Burgundian Christmas Carol arranged by Alan Bullard for choir in three parts (S.A.Bar.) and piano
This lively carol welcomes Jesus’ birth with instruments and voices, with an arrangement that hints at the sound of the fife and the drum, and provides a not-too-challenging tongue-twister in the refrain!
 It may be sung by a three-part SABar choir, but as there are occasional optional divisions in the baritone part, it may also be sung by an SATB choir. The piano accompaniment can be adapted for organ if required.

Alan Bullard's choral works are performed worldwide, and many have been recorded and broadcast. He has a reputation for music that choirs enjoy performing, and which speaks directly to audiences. The Colne Choral Series contains a range of Bullard's pieces for adult and youth choirs of all types, including cantatas and choral suites as well as individual movements.
