An a capella version of The Little Drummer Boy by
Pentatonix, a quintet who perform without instruments. They named their group for the pentatonic scale, which has five notes per octave, since there are
five members in the group.
The Little Drummer Boy was written by Katherine Kennicott Davis (1892-1980), a music teacher, composer, and pianist. She based the tune on a Czech baby rocking carol which has never been successfully identified. The original title of Davis' song was Carol of the Drum. Davis left all her music royalties to Wellesley College.
