The three verses evoke so well each of the gifts. The first one is a sort of triumphant regal march (gold). The second one is almost like a temple choir (incense). And the third is like a funeral (myrrh)

You know, it is said that the myrrh that Jesus received as a newborn is the very same myrrh that they covered his body with for his burial. It's a beautiful song, and it gives me chills when the verse from Balthazar starts.

When Balthazar 'speaks' you can feel that he's trying to say "I'm sorry what my gift simbolyzes, but I think you know that you'll need it".

I think that he was buried with them, or is that just some story my nana told me?

I picture Balthazar as entering with some sort of walking staff/cane, and kneeling before Jesus, as tears streak down his face. The heavy silence that follows him comes from people noticing his odd walking, possibly the shuffling of a foot. A striking, yet dignified presence.

Uhmm "Courtesy of God"? Have you ever even read the Bible? First off, Hell is not a place, its simply Eternal seperation from God, from all that is good. It is brought on because of rejection of God, his creation of you, which is, in essence, denying your own existance (or blaming it on a random explosion from elements that didn't exist, randomly producing a trillion perfectly balanced ecosystems made up of evolving slime which magically knows how to provide for itself, reproduce, etc, and that over time slowly turns into a free-thinking, extremely intuitive human being... yea.) Oh, and newborn babies have very little sense of right or wrong... thus comes into play the age of accountability, which is basically a standard for when a person knows enough about moral law to be judged according to it.

@Phoenix Yeah... I mean when someone says that Harry Potter stuff exists, they are mentally ill. But going around talking about Space Daddy that created Earth in 6 days even though we have proof that he didn't is ok... Smh

My dad is an astronomer, and he says that the 'star' the wise men followed was the planet Jupiter, since it was in the right place at that time for it to lead the wise men in the correct direction. The star could move because it was a planet. The star then appeared to stop over the place where Jesus was, since at that time the Earth was overtaking Jupiter on the inside (our orbit around the Sun is faster than Jupiter's). The wise men knew to set out on their journey because the positions of the constellations and of Jupiter (called 'Righteousness' in Hebrew) told them the time was right. Jupiter being the star would also explain why no-one noticed anything unusual, since the planet is an ordinary object in the night sky. The only difference this time was that its position relative to the other constellations was meaningful to the wise men.

If you’re interested, it’s the Adoration of the Magi by Gentile da Fabriano, which can be seen in the Uffizi Gallery in Firenze. It’s one of the most emblematic and beautiful pieces of so-called international gothic art from the early 15th century : )

Interesting thing about the story is that they were not necessarily kings but wise men. Likely Astrologers as they are also called Magi meaning wise men or magicians. The Christian symbolism often not noticed due to rewrites to the song is that the three gifts have very specific significance. Gold is given to a king from which can be made a crown referring to a halo. Frankincense is an incense burned as offerings to many mythological entities in the region and is still used today in many religions ergo the perfect gift for a deity. Myrrh is very strong and was often burned at funerals to cover the smell of the deceased. Remember this is in a hot climate long before modern embalming so..... Anyway to give something associated at funerals as a gift at birth would seem strange but this obviously foreshadows the death of Christ. Note that Frankincense was also burned in sacrifice to gods so again it all ties back to the story of Christ sacrificing himself for humanity. Lastly the final verse highlights the glory of resurrection after the rather gloomy foreshadowing. I'm always a bit upset about the song being chopped up to make it shorter and more marketable as the story is lost. Ironicly , I'm not even a Christian... I just love a good story and am over educated.

Close. They're called "Magi" because they were Zoroastrian priests in the story, of a religion forgotten by most in the west but once one of the world's largest and the first of the monotheistic religions. Christianity got most of its Messiah schtick from Zoroastrianism through Judaism during and after Judaism's "babylonian exile," which slowly rendered the Messiah from a warrior-king of the Jewish people to a world-savior in line with the Saoshyant. The reason they turn up in the story if they didn't actually turn up in real life is to give Jesus legitimacy as the Saoshyant, because Zoroastrianism was *huge* at the time.

I thought you should know that I showed your video to my students last year, and not only did they beg to watch it again and again... this year, they are begging for it again! They began asking for it during Advent and have been impatiently waiting for Epiphany (tomorrow) when I have promised to show it again. The fact that so many students remember it after all this time is incredible. I show my students a lot of recordings of church hymns and liturgical music, as well as silly songs to help them remember concepts in other classes, and I don't think I've ever had a song be so well remembered. Most of the time, no matter how big a hit the song is, they forget all about it within a few weeks! You should be proud!

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!

I loved this song when we sang it in elementary school, it’s bizarre how I’ve never heard it again until now. It’s very good.

This was always my favorite of the Christmas songs, it had reminded me of the way my dad would sing the Tolkien poems when he read those stories to me as a kid.

I can't help but imagine how the parents would respond to this at a Kindergarten Nativity: Gold: "Aw, look how cute Johnny is with baby Jesus :)" Frankincense: "Wow, Arnold can really hit those low notes!" Myrrh: "TREVOR! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT KNIFE??!"

I cannot truly explain the awe and wonder I have for you all. This rendition of the carol truly sent shivers up my spine and brought me to tears! I greatly enjoy your music, regardless of whether it be traditional carol to Tolkien's poems set to music. Thank you for the bright light that you are in all the darkness and crap music that there is out there!!!

Amazing! Magnificent!! I absolutely LOVE the solemn tones in this rendition of 'We Three Kings.' The Bass Voices of Kings, as they re-tell their part in the story of Jesus's birth, are accentuated by a deep, low, rich, and slowed background of Cello string and Drum percussion. A PERFECT COMPILATION! Sooo GOOD!

Best version I've heard of this song. The modulations are awesome and giving each section its own stylistic identity really takes it to the next level and rewards repeated listening.

Long live the ancient story of the Magi and their great King...

THIS is what I came for. Give me that grandeur of days of old. That archaic, Latin, holy sound. I do not know the word to articulate how I feel about the sound, but it is that sound that you get when you play a piece on a massive church organ. You receive it a lot differently.
