Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1322887 Composed by Laura JH Ball. Christmas,Classical,Holiday,Jazz,Religious. Score. 11 pages. Laura Jean Heintschel Ball #911146. Published by Laura Jean Heintschel Ball (A0.1322887). This slightly jazzed-up fantasia for solo piano (based on the well-loved Christmas carol, We Three Kings of Orient Are, originally penned by John Henry Hopkins, Jr. in 1857), was conceived when Laura was sitting at the piano plunking out a few Christmas standards and she asked her husband for requests. It started out innocently enough, then matured into a contemplative, but shimmering and powerful, rendition with occasional nods to Erik Satie and Vince Guaraldi. It takes the listener on the epic journey right along with the three Magi, through fields and fountains and moors and mountains, following that bright, wonderous star.
