Orientis Reges Tres (We Three Kings)

ServiamScores

Hi all,
I recently stumbled across a latin version of "Silent Night" and it got me wondering if there were other well known hymns with latin translations. Sure enough I discovered Orientis Reges Tres, however I could only find the text but no versions set to music, so I created one that I'd like to share with you all here. Feel free to use/distribute.

Thank you ServismScores, I’ll have to bring this to my MD tomorrow.

Here are several, collected in magnum opus by Nashvillian C. Tatum.

Don't forget "Reno Erat Rudolphus"

The neumes and chanting monks on the website are splendid even though the recording doesn't match the lyrics in the second staff.

Speaking of the Three Kings on this Feast of the Epiphany, has anyone played this piece for organ, before? It's quite charming.

Very nice. (On another note. This would have been a way to expedite my departure from a couple parishes in the past where the leadership had a strong aversion to anything Latin.)

yes
i don't know which arrangement she uses, but our organist plays this as a duet on organ, using voices of oboe and harp. It's lovely!
