This woodwind quintet arrangement turns the traditional French carol "Patapan" into a "Patapan Fantasy," which includes quotes from the carols "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," "Joy to the World," "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," "We Three Kings of Orient Are," and "Good King Wenceslas," representing carols from England, France, the Czech Republic, and the United States. It is perfect for all holiday events, gatherings, recitals, or caroling gigs. The arrangement was written for most ensembles, from advanced high school quintets to college ensembles to professional quintets. What appealed to me most about this piece was that it's pitched in a minor key, making it slightly different from most Christmas carols. The lyrics are similar to "The Little Drummer Boy:" "When you hear the fife and drum, dance and make the village hum." I have included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon. Originally scored for piano, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for winds.
