Скачать или смотреть Tres Magi de gentibus - C. S. Lang

This simple, energetic Epiphanytide carol is fun to sing (and play!) and was composed by the New Zealand-born British composer Craig Sellar Lang. The piece calls for a tuba stop on the organ, reminiscent of Lang's famous 'Tuba tune', but is played here using trumpet and diapason stops. Performed at St Giles' Church, Camberwell, London in December 2017. Text below:

Eastern Monarchs, sages three, come with gifts of great plenty;
Worship Christ on bended knee, cum Virgine Maria.

Gold in honour of the King, incense to the Priest they bring,
Myrrh for time of burying, cum Virgine Maria.

On that dreadful day, the last, he forgive our sinful past;
To his mercy cling we fast, cum Virgine Maria.

His the praise and glory be, laud and honour, victory,
Power supreme, and so sing we, cum Virgine Maria.

On the feast-day of his birth, set on throne above the earth,
Angels chant in holy mirth, cum Virgine Maria.

Thus to bless the One in Three let the present company
Raise the voice of melody, cum Virgine Maria.
