We Three Kings (Hopkins Jr.)
arranged for percussion ensemble
We Three Kings arranged by Simeon Tanner is a medium-easy percussion ensemble setting of the beloved Christmas carol by John Henry Hopkins Jr. Inspired by the journey of the magi, this arrangement opens with a Middle Eastern atmosphere and unfolds through percussive storytelling, using colorful textures ideal for holiday programming.
Scored for 8 players, the arrangement allows for flexible part doubling and adaptation to available instruments. Both marimba parts can be played on a single 4.3-octave marimba if needed. Directors may augment the hand drum part with bongos, congas, frame drums, djembe, etc.
