[TheOneAndOnlyBrookie]

omg my favorite Christmas song. sooooooo pretty i wish i played the flute but i play the sax. i could try playing it…

[emme1964]

@TheOneAndOnlyBrookie

sax has the same fingering as the flute.. Work on it....and you would be able to play it on the flute. I played flute and sax. I know it can be done. :D Go for it.

[katzkrew90210]

it's not spanish, its french

[BriiskkllExxpo]

you have a really good low brass :]

[clownaphobia12]

Dude we are singing this for my school choir. I love this song

[1333Jersey]

i am also doing this our christmas concert im a trumpeter and i must say even though im only doing 2nd trumpet it is pretty hard it goes by so fast

[112233diablo112233]

actually were playing it this year it is 4/4 with 2/4 in it :)

[KingSevault]

bass clarinet pride!

[ShortestShowShown]

Wow, amazing brass!

[TwinOfDarkChaos]

We're playing this for our Christmas concert but it sounds rather different. I play the flute but we play it faster. Is this in half time?

[irepic69]

Nope its 4/4

[NaaaneSan]

wow, very good performance!

we're also playing it in our brass band and our percussionist is having very much fun with his solo ;-)

but I'm afraid we don't sound half as good xD

[uriuri2]

thanks for sharing this, it's a really great rendition. I played this in a band too, and it's a very fun piece to play.

[excimoe]

Hey, cool - I love this rendition. Did you transcribe it for the band from the CD, or does Mannheim Steamroller provide sheet music?

And, xchibidinox, the name is not a description of the type of flutes used. It was an attempt at onomatopoeia for the sound of light drums.

[chibigodthor]

Mannheim Steamroller provided sheet music for the concert band version (Hal Leonard published it)

[Crazypuppydog365]

i am doing this for my concert on friday today is wendsday i go to minersville pa

[xchibidinox]

not wut i thot it was :/

im looking for the original one

[savagemillers]

Mannheim Steamroller did not write this song. It is a French carol written around 1700.

[chibigodthor]

I would've said "band rendition of Mannheim Steamroller's rendition of the carol Pat-a-Pan" but that seems a bit much, y'know?

[UltrasonicMailman]

I played this in a strings ensemble and immediately fell in love with it! Unfortunately, the other members didn't...

[KenzieKaddl]

We're doing this for quoir...I don't want to do it

[zeldageeks]

we just played this song!! today was our concert!

[frenrirrider]

lol me too...

[irishCUTiiEx3]

we're playing this song too hah.

[Jijjin]

We are playing this right now for the upcoming winter concert.

[piratequeen11]

Same here!!! Its a really hard song (for the flutes any way which is the instrument I play,) but its really starting to pay off!

[xchibidinox]

they use pan flutes

thats where the name comes from

[frenrirrider]

omg! we are too, but we actually just played it! It was fun.... the grade above us did really good.

[JoBrosluv44]

were playin this for our winter concert!

[slisenberger]

we're playing this now too!

[yisaPOO]

my school played this for our winter concert last year. but it wasn't a flute solo at the beginning; it was the entire section (14 flutes). it was quite a chore getting us all to play in tune!

[XxBloodyValentine9xX]

we're playing this for our Christmas concert. I play the flute solo and right now it sounds nothing like that lol we have to take it in 4 instead of 2 cause we just started to learn it. But this band that played sounded really really good

[PercussionMouse]

What a fabulous band. I love it.

[DSfan56]

We played this same exact song during our Christmas concert.

[thecowonrollerskates]

We are, too- except we're playing this for a festival thing at Georgia State University...

[Zoraura]

What a great piece.

[knox1950]

me and my family always play this song during Christmas :D
