Patapan—arr. Kurt Heinecke. This sprightly
arrangement of the well-known French carol
imagines shepherds playing their harps as they
celebrate the news of a baby born in Bethlehem.
What begins as whispers from the flute and drum
grow as word spreads and a fugue-like melody
bounces between instruments. The piece builds
to a powerful climax as the shepherds gather
and march down from their pastures together. A
perfect holiday choice for any high school or well-
developed middle school band.

Quest of the Magi (Fantasy on We Three
Kings)—Brian Beck. "The Quest of the Magi"
was one of the working titles for John Henry
Hopkins Jr.'s famous carol We Three Kings. This

thievery, and possible death, not to mention

precious and expensive commodities one could
possess. This piece chronicles the magi as they
acquire myrrh, frankincense, and gold for their
journey. Each treasure is represented by its own
motif and woven into Hopkins' original carol. (2:45)
