Australia's Most Amazing RangeWho among us has not heard the Christmas carol “The Little Drummer Boy†and hadour hearts stirred by the message of love and goodwill expressed by the small boywho had nothing to bring to the stable at Bethlehem, except his gift of music? Thetrue spirit of Christmas is embodied in this small boy, whom we have recreated in amodel that is one of our favourite Christmas decorations.
This carol has inspired singers as diverse as Marlene Dietrich, Paul McCartney andAled Jones to produce their own versions of the song, said to be based on an oldCzech carol, and first written by US musician Katherine Kennicott Davis in 1941. Itwas later added to the repertoire of the Von Trapp Family Singers, of the “Sound ofMusic†fame. There are truly very few Christmas decorations that have such a longlist of followers. The upbeat rhythm and easily memorised words of this carol,originally known as “The Carol of the Drumâ€, mean that it appeals to a wideaudience, all of whom can sing along to the tune.
Our Little Drummer Boy stands 1.7 metres high, and creates a room feature for thefestive season. All you need do is provide the music and the singers! Children areinstantly drawn to it, and adults might even attempt a conversation - after drinkshave been served!! Your Christmas decorations list will be missing a real highlightif you overlook this delightful drummer boy.
