Unexpected Journey: A Modern Retelling Inspired by ‘We Three Kings’

Holiday Music – Grade 2.5

Lee Shook

Follow those three “Wise Guys” on their unlikely journey to Bethlehem. You’ll have a lot of musical fun as you travel with these famous kings as they follow that star. A lot of rhythmic imagination has been employed in arranging this holiday favorite. Latin percussion and bass guitar help to set the mood for a refreshing treatment of this familiar melody and in addition to soloist opportunities along the way, the entire ensemble gets wrapped up in a thunderous “camel fight” at the end. For mature musical audiences only?
