Kings of Orient

Based on the traditional carol "We Three Kings," this setting resembles a gourmet meal with just the right amount of spicy techniques complementing rhythmic motives, and optional percussion parts. The structure is light to begin with and then grows more intense as the piece progresses. The ending chord features a gyro technique that gradually fades away. Percussion is Suspended Cymbal, Woodblock, Tambourine, Suspended Chimes, and Sandblocks. Measures total 101.
