It takes, as its premise, the story of the Magi following the star from distant lands to Jerusalem and ultimately the Jesus child. Then the fun begins.

Set in modern choral anthem style, this song uses unison, two-part and four-part writing for a quick teach with few obstructions for the singers or accompaniment.
