Quest of the Magi (Fantasy on We Three
Kings)—arr. 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
piece focuses more on the journey of "following
yonder star." Traveling across many countries in
the first century was a perilous task, full of danger,
thievery, and possible death, not to mention these
men were traveling with some of the most 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)
