We Three Kings

When hunting for new Christmas arrangements, do you look for straight forward homophonic settings or are you a little more adventurous and seek out the unique and quirky? There are lots of great samples of the first kind, but if you are more inclined toward the second type, you will want to check this one out. Intricately woven polyphony plays hide-and-seek with the melody - just when you think you ve found it, it swirls off in another direction. You can tell this is We Three Kings, but where did the melody go? Oh - there it is! Or not! Technically a grade 2.5, but its intricacies, such as D# in the key of E minor and the elusive melody, imply that a slightly more mature group will really make it shine. It is very skillfully written and will surely please both your players and your holiday audience.
