Katherine Kennicott Davis: The Joy and Magic of Music

Like fruitcake, “The Little Drummer Boy” may not be everyone’s favorite, but it wouldn’t be Christmas without it. Everyone knows its refrain, “Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,” but fewer know that its composer was a longtime Concord resident. Katherine Kennicott Davis lived right off Lowell Road near the mill brook, quietly making her mark as a composer and music educator.
