The Christmas classic "We Three Kings" is given an atmospheric and truly unique setting by arranger Brian Childers. Effective use of staccato – TD in the treble, mallets in the bass – and other techniques blends with the optional handchimes to perfectly evoke the voyage of the Kings in search of the newborn Messiah. A magical work for a magical time of year!
