The three kings arrive with a drum line in this rendition of the favorite Christmas carol. Set in 6/8 time with malleted, 16th note accompaniment (the drum line) and optional handchimes in the D5 to A6 range, the music moves along with a strong lilt. 89 measures in length, "We Three King"'s dynamic variations and many sixteenth notes offer quite a challenge. It is scored in e minor.
