We Three Kings re-written to commiserated with those epic walkers of old. Those of fantastic feet. Those with super sandals.
Arranged for three voices and piano.

Lyrics:
Tutti: We three kings of Orient are;
bearing gifts we traverse afar,
sandals flopping, without stopping
following yonder star.

Refrain:
O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
How far to this Nazarite?

King I: Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
gold I bring to crown him again,
Walking ever, ceasing never,
Wowzers my leg’s in pain.

Tutti: O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
Trav’lling on both day and night.

King II: Frankincense to offer have I;
incense owns a Deity nigh;
Real trail-blazing, it’s hair-raising,
Trudging along, I sigh. 

Tutti: O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
Breaks are a true delight.

 King III: Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
breathes a life of gathering gloom;
blisters bleeding, not conceding,
Where is the next bathroom? 

Tutti: O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
Dunes are a gruesome sight.

 Tutti: Glorious now, at last we’ve arrived,
From our comforts we’ve been deprived:
Presents given, wish we’d been driven 
Don’t think my knees survived.

 Tutti: O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
West we followed, pain we swallowed,
Back we sorely trudge tonight.

 Comments as leave stage: What, all the way back again? Home again, jigged-jog. We just came all this way West and now we have to go back east?

SKU: C7.CGA1671

Composed by Camilla Pruitt and Tom Shelton. General, All Saints. With Violin and Cello. Sacred Anthem. Octavo. 16 pages. Chorister's Guild - Digital #CGA1671. Published by Chorister's Guild - Digital (C7.CGA1671).

This ethereal piece for mixed voices incorporates the words of poet Henry Vaughan: They are all gone into the world of light, their memory is fair and bright. A fitting selection for All Saint's Day, inviting us to reflect on loved ones who have joined the saints in light. Open harmonics in the voices and accompaniment paint a picture of what lies beyond this world, and the optional string parts for violin and cello create a beautiful soundscape on which the melody floats. A striking and memorable piece for youth and adult choirs.

This looks trickier than it is - our choirs managed the three parts pretty well and they loved the sound. We mixed up solo, unison and 3-part verses to make it longer. The solo made people cry most week :)
A firm favourite, mixing beautiful harmonies and simple nostalgia. Interestingly the youngsters seemed to know this song, too.
Tried, tested and much-loved.
Enjoy!

Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation was originally an unaccompanied plainsong melody, translated in 1851 by John Mason Neale from the second part of the Latin monastic hymn Urbs beata Jerusalem. It is now commonly sung to the tune of Westminster Abbey by Purcell and currently growing in popularity. A favorite of the British royal family, it has been performed at their marriage ceremonies and Elizabeth II's platinum jubilee and funeral service. This is an SAB (soprano, alto, baritone) Intermediate Choir arrangement with a piano accompaniment. A separate sheet is provided for the voices. A piano arrangement of this hymn is also available at this web site.
