Description

The First Nowell
We Three Kings of Orient Are (two versions included)

Note from the arranger

The first carol, “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” has at least three tunes that are in common usage. I have chosen the classic British melody of ‘”Forest Green” rather than the tune “St. Louis” which is more well-known in the US.

“The First Nowel” was originally a Cornish folk tune (Roud folk index no. 682), and was first published as a Christmas carol in 1823.

“We Three Kings of Orient Are” was composed in 1857 by the American clergyman and composer John Henry Hopkins Jr. Originally written for a Christmas pageant in New York, the song has now found popularity worldwide.
