About The Record:

The Little Drummer Boy (originally known as Carol of the Drum) was further popularized by a 1958 recording by the Harry Simeone Chorale; the Simeone version was re-released successfully for several years and the song has been recorded many times since. The musical sequences of the album along with it's arrangements, orchestra, voice transitions, the brass choir and the stirring sound of the 25 voices of the Harry Simeone Chorale are all woven into a magnificent production which achieves a new high in recorded music. The album also includes the Christmas favorite Do You Hear What I Hear.
