YOUTUBE PREMIER Peter Cornelius "The Three Kings" (arr. Husey)
Rachel Stuart and Jacquelyn Stucker, Sopranos
Adapted for three voices by Mark Husey, tenor and organ
Saint Peter's Catholic Church, Established 1821
Diocese of Charleston & City of Columbia, South Carolina USA

Solo: Three kings from Persian lands afar to Jordan follow the pointing star: and this the quest of the travellers three, where the new-born King of the Jews may be. Full royal gifts they bear for the King; Gold, incense, myrrh are their offering. The star shines out with a steadfast ray; the kings to Bethlehem make their way, and there in worship they bend the knee, as Mary's child in her lap they see; their royal gifts they show to the King; gold, incense, myrrh are their offering. thou child of man, lo, to Bethlehem the kings are travelling, travel with them! The star of mercy, the star of grace, shall lead thy heart to its resting-place. Gold, incense, myrrh thou can'st not bring; offer thy heart to the infant King.

Chorale: How brightly shines the morning star! With grace and truth from heaven afar our Jesse tree now bloweth. Of Jacob's stem and David's line, for thee, my Bridegroom, King divine, my soul with love o'erfloweth. Thy word, Jesu, inly feeds us, rightly leads us, life bestowing. Praise, O praise such love o'erflowing.

Shirley Caduhada McGuinness, Video

  • Beautiful rendition of one my my favorite Christmas pieces. Many years ago, I sang the solo with my high school choir in Jamaica. The soloist is to be commended for his sensitive handling of the piece, maintaining perfect pitch, while playing the accompaniment. The female voices missed their entry at 1:27. Nevertheless, the piece was done beautifully.

  • Beautiful.

  • Divine! You do it all!

  • I really really enjoyed that performance.How great it must be to witness such wonderful performances there at St. Peter's.It must take tremendous concentration to sing while you are playing.You are a wondeful role model for aspiring musicians like myself.Keep up the great work!
