This exciting and contemporary arrangement blends two traditional carols, We Three Kings and O Come, O Come Emmanuel. Mystery and intrigue pervade the opening 6/8 section, as the themes are introduced. This quickly transitions into an energetic rhythmic 3/4, with moments of a syncopated 6/8 feel, melodic interplay, and other musical surprises. This balanced work allows each member of the orchestra to play melodic material, as well as a range of dynamics and articulations that will give listeners and performers an engaging experience from start to finish.
