Alleluja Alleluia.
THREE KINGS OF ORIENT
Nowadays better known as We Three Kings of Orient Are, this popular Christmas
carol was written by the American composer John Henry Hopkins Jr and first
published in 1863. The eldest son of pioneer parents, Hopkins was born in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and wrote the music as part of a Christmas pageant for
his young nieces and nephews not long before becoming a bishop.
Here, Hugh Ronzani has reframed Three Kings of Orient in an arrangement within
an arrangement. Hopkins’ original setting, intended for male singers representing
the three kings bearing gifts for baby Jesus (Gaspard, Melchior and Balthazar), has
been adapted for Baroque stringed instruments and continuo through the lens of
one of the most famous ‘Folia’ settings of all – that of Antonio Vivaldi.

16. Traditional
O COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL
Since its first performance in the original Latin as Adeste Fideles in 1999,
O Come, All Ye Faithful has been a regular part of the Brandenburg festive tradition.
The hymn has been attributed to various composers, and while the earliest
surviving manuscript of the work bears the name of King John IV of Portugal
(1604 – 1656), it is likely the tune is even older. The text has been translated
countless times, the version you will hear is the most famous English translation
by the English priest Frederick Oakeley in 1852.
O come, all ye faithful,
joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem!
Come and behold him,
born the King of Angels!
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord!
God of God,
Light of Light,
Lo! He abhors not the Virgin’s womb:
very God, begotten, not created.
Sing, choirs of angels!
Sing in exultation!
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above:
“Glory to God in the highest.”
