Stainer & Bell have published Brian R Knowles' hugely tuneful and upbeat new version of words adapted from the much-loved Christmas hymn, We Three Kings.

Children and adults alike will demand to sing this fun setting again and again, inspired by its compelling melody and rhythm that will also enchant audiences of all ages. There are gentler solo verses for the three gifts of frankincense, myrrh and gold, with a sparkling refrain that brings the carol to an irrepressible conclusion.

Whether as a dynamic change of mood within a programme, or as a dashing end to its first or second half, We Three Kings will be an unforgettable addition to any Christmas concert.

We Three Kings is available to order online from Stainer & Bell and can be heard played regularly on BBC Radio 2.

'We Three Kings is one of Brian's most infectious and exuberant compositions.
I love it and know it by heart.' - Alan Tichtmarsh MBE

Brian Knowles is that rare thing - a composer of great originality who can also write good tunes! This CD is a terrific example of his work in setting some of the nation's favourite poems to music. Having enjoyed Brian's work myself for many years now, I'm happy to think that this CD will ensure it of a wider audience. His is a talent that deserves greater recognition and I congratulate him on a tremedous achievement.
