Thread Name: songs about the Three Kings
Subject: wanted: songs about the Three Kings
As I mentioned in the current thread abt 'Twelvetide,' our gang has a tradition of the Three Kings party, which is held on January 1st.
We need more songs about the Three Kings [or Magi]. I'd appreciate references or links to any unusual ones that you know. I already have these:
March of the Three Kings - Provencal tune, 13th C. The Golden Carol of Melchior, Gaspar and Balthazar - trad. English Songs of Thankfulness and Praise - Jakob Hintze Star in the East - shape note What Star is this? - Praetorius Christ Child Lullabye - from the DT
[I used to think that 'gs of Thankfulness and Praise' was a rather dull tune, until I realized that it could be done as a peppy Baroque instrumental.]
