Day 20: 1958? · 5:16pm Dec 20th, 2017
Now there's some debate about this particular carol. Especially about when exactly this tune was written. Some would say that it was jotted up around the 1940's while others say that it is as late as 1955. But regardless, the thing that this carol stands out among the others was the author. Her name, was Katherine K. Davis, a forgotten composer who has only this carol in which people remember. If anything, this carol was stolen and was up on the radio. Fortunately, her credit was restored, and we get to enjoy what was originally called, "The Carol of the Drum."
