"The Quest of the Magi" was one of the working titles for John Henry Hopkins Jr.'s famous carol We Three Kings. This piece focuses more on the journey of "following yonder star." Traveling across many countries in the first century was a perilous task, full of danger, thievery, and possible death, not to mention these men were traveling with some of the most precious and expensive commodities one could possess. This piece chronicles the magi as they acquire myrrh, frankincense, and gold for their journey. Each treasure is represented by its own motif and woven into Hopkins' original carol. (2:45)
