When You Hear the Drum

In When You Hear the Drum, Brian Slawson combines two anonymous traditional chants, Sing We Now of Christmas and Fife Drum, into a modern groove-oriented holiday jam. There are opportunities for soloists to improvise, various syncopated rhythmic challenges, and tons of textural variety for the young percussion ensemble to sink their teeth into. A holiday program would definitely benefit from this little gem!
