FUM, FUM, FUM—arr. Michael Story. The title
of this popular Spanish carol comes not from the Spanish
language but rather from the sound of strumming a
stringed instrument. This authentic setting for your beginning
string orchestra is complete with strings alone, but comes
with optional piano and percussion parts (castanets and
triangle). It will give a festive multicultural flair to your
holiday program!
