Here at Music Scores we like to do things a little differently and as the 12 days of Christmas approaches we would like to count with you using our music associated connections to the original version. The first day of Christmas is on the 25th December until and including 4th January.
Below is the original version of the Twelve Days of Christmas and behind each day is our associated musical link which will also be posted on our facebook page.
12 Drummers Drumming
11 Pipers Piping
10 Lords a Leaping
9 Ladies Dancing
8 Maids a Milking
7 Swans a Swimming
6 Geese a Laying
5 Golden Rings
4 Calling Birds
3 French Hens
2 Turtle Doves
A Partridge in a Pear Tree ……
(Just in case you are unsure of the Bolero’s link to 5 Golden Rings, it was famously used by Torvil and Dean when they won their gold medal ice dance at the Sarajevo 1984 Olympics).
