Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This handsome picture book revisits the timeless holiday song about the poor drummer boy who learns that the most valuable gifts are those given from the heart. Rich, textured images spring from the pages, their radiant gold and red earth tones balanced by warm blue and green hues. Rodanas evokes the boy's gentle persona through soft colors and the simple line work of the child's drum, and then uses bold colors for the kings' robes and and strong textile patterns in Mary's garments. The contrast effectively reinforces the musical rhythm and movement of the text.
Booklist, ALA

"A beautiful demonstration of the true meaning of Christmas." Kirkus Reviews

When commercialism threatens to overtake the season, this song reminds readers that a gift from the heart brings great joy to both the giver and the receiver.
School Library Journal

Biographie de l'auteur

Ezra Jack Keats (1916–1983) is the Caldecott Medal winning author of The Snowy Day, which broke ground in 1962 as one of the first picture books for young children to portray a realistic, multi-cultural urban setting. Since its initial publication, The Snowy Day has come to be regarded as both a children’s classic and one of the most important picture books ever written/illustrated.
