5.0 out of 5 stars A classic, January 1, 2006

My wife remembers this album from her childhood. We bought an LP recording of it shortly after we were married in 1969. When LPs faded from the scene and CDs became the standard medium, we bought a copy in that format. I have given a copy of it as a gift to my secretary. It belongs in the library of all who like tradtional Christmas music.

I love this album by Katherine K. Davis! However, there is one song, a medley, missing that was on the album we had in 1966-1969 era - "Pine cones and holly berries," or "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas." This one song has stayed with me over the years. The LP album I recall did not identify the singers and conductor and I always wondered who they were. It was simply entitled "The Drummer Boy." That one medley is one of my all time favorites! It was the last song on that album and was a medley of "Pine cones," and briefly "Jingle Bells," then the finale "We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!" It was very Classic and Joyful with clear voices and bass instruments with a minimum of echo! If you love choral music as I do you, this album becomes more endearing over time. I think all Harry Simeone and Katherine K. Davis albums are classic and should each be offered on CD.

I'm glad to have found The Harry Simeone Orchestra's The Little Drummer Boy available on CD. With delightful voices and a professional orchestration, the CD begins with a medley of preludes in high timbre, polyphonic and homophonic sounds. The Harry Simeone Orchestra delivers Christmas in the most sacred manner. I have enjoyed hearing the songs listed on this CD for over 40 years.

Thanks to the executors for putting this CD together and removing those hisses from vinyl (analog to digital). I'm certain there were hisses as our vinyl version contained them. :D
