Three Kings Do Swing

This swing version of the traditional Christmas carol, "We Three Kings of Orient Are", was originally scored for choir, brass quartet, flute, and rhythm section and was performed several times in that version. Then one Christmas day, the composer decided to create a chamber orchestra version (1/1/1/1 1/1/1/0 Timpani, Drum Set and Strings). Since then he has been asked to do one for choir and piano, choir with chamber orchestra and now this one for full orchestra with plenty of percussion. Should you not have all four percussionists, use for certain the Drum Set (Perc. 1) and cut from the end of measure 39 and go to the start of measure 51. If you have another player or two, you or they can determine what instruments are important for them to cover and whether they can be featured at m.40 or take the cut.
