In de loop der eeuwen is schitterende kerstmuziek geschreven. In de dertiende eeuw ontstond March of the Three Kings. Deze melodie, die wordt toegeschreven aan een anonieme monnik, is nog altijd geliefd. In Fantasia on a13th Century Carol is de melodie verwerkt in diverse variaties en stijlen, met als hoogtepunt een symfonische mars.
