We Three Kings Eric Law

We Three Kings Eric LawThe story of the three Magi is brought to life by John Henry Hopkins in this unique adaptation of the traditional carol. The pizzicato accompaniment, coupled with the optional bells throughout, create a sense of intrigue and mystery, reminiscent of the bright star in the sky that the Wise Men followed to Bethlehem. The optional percussion parts (including a doumbek if available) add to the Middle Eastern style and setting of this holiday classic.
