The title of this French carol refers to the beating of a drum, while the lyrics mentions pipes, fifes and flute. As with many Christmas tunes, it reflects the joyous union of Christmas music with dance. The melody here also incorporates a lyrical folk song used by Tchaikovsky in his 1812 Overture. In this holiday setting for SATB saxophones, melodic material is shared by all.
