Little Drummer Boy, The

A wider range of the keyboard is used in this arrangement through the use of 8va and the damper pedal. Written in G major, features of the piece include a rhythmic ostinato in the left-hand accompaniment and harmonic thirds, fourths,fifths, and sixths in the right-hand melody. The use of D. S. al Fine creates a longer version and allows for an interlude before the return to the sign. The lyrics are included.
