I’ve always loved this old, old Burgundian Christmas carol, Pat-a-Pan. Here we have it performed by Yure Lytkin (mandolin) and friends… in what seems to be somebody’s living room.
“Willi, bring your little drum…” Fife and drum for Christmas. It has always worked for me.
Just to encourage reader response, mind you, I offer Pat-a-Pan by the Stairwell Carollers, Ottawa… singing it in French. This was on the Christmas program for our 7th Grade Chorus, back in the Bronze Age.
It would be nice to see our Christmas Carol Contest heat up down the stretch.
It’s taken me all morning to get this hymn posted: to paraphrase Caligula, my computer is revolting.
David Archuleta goes to town on this ancient Burgundian Christmas carol, Pat-a-Pan–one of my favorites.
The Christmas Carol Contest is still being led by a hymn with 20 views on Day 1. But dig this: with thousands of carols to choose from, two readers, in two different countries, asked for the same performance of the same hymn, just minutes apart. How about that!
I suddenly realized yesterday that I’d neglected to post one of my favorite Christmas carols–but not to worry: SlimJim requested it this morning. Have you noticed that we have a great many coincidences around here?
Pat-a-Pan is an old, old Burgundian carol. Here we have it by Quadriga Consort. I’m so happy that we haven’t missed it. Now, if I can just find a carol featuring a harpsichord…
I just don’t have it in me to write up any nooze this afternoon. It’s dreary nooze out there. Who really wants to read it?
Instead, I offer up this old Burgundian Christmas carol which, to me, conjures up memories of sitting on the floor by the Christmas tree and loving it–Pat-a-Pan, sung by the Stairwell Carollers. I think they’re singing in Burgundian. Why not?
Christmas is coming. Christ the Savior is born. Someday the dreary nooze will stop. Let Our Lord Jesus Christ reign in our hearts, and pray for Him to reign on earth.
There aren’t many carols for a fife and a drum anymore; but here’s one from medieval Burgundy, before it was part of France: Pat-a-Pan, performed by Quadriga Consort. We used to sing this in school–imagine that.
No one else is going to ask for this carol, and it’s one of my favorites, so here it is–Pat-a-Pan, a Burgundian Christmas carol from I don’t know how many centuries ago. This is the Zamar Student Choir from the Harrisburg Baptist Church. I wonder if I can find this carol in Burgundian…
This old Burgundian carol, Pat-a-Pan, is one of my favorites; and I especially like this unusual performance of it by the Zamar Student Choir at Harrisburg Baptist Church in the Northern Mississippi Choir Festival.
Did I mention that you can enter the Christmas Carol Contest as often as you like? It sort of dried up yesterday. I’ll have to have a word with Byron.
I don’t think anybody else will ask for this, so I will: Pat-a-Pan, an old Burgundian Christmas carol whose like is rarely met with anymore. This rousing performance is by the Zamar Students’ Choir at Harrisburg Baptist Church, in the Northern Mississippi Christmas Festival.
I love this carol. Yeah, I know, it’s getting so I say that about all of them. Well, I can’t help it.
Pat-a-Pan is an ancient Burgundian Christmas carol, sung here by the Zamar Student Choir from the Harrisburg Baptist Church in Mississippi. It might not be the only Pat-a-Pan I post this season, but we shall see.
