This arrangement of We Three Kings Jazz is just plain fun. Super exciting jazzy motives set this piece up to be loved by all who play and all who listen. A more melancholy section is a lovely contrast in the middle of the piece and then all the stops are pulled out again for a rousing ending!

This “We Three Kings” piece is just incredible!! It has really connected with one of my teenage girls and I’m so grateful she can explore a mature sounding, jazzy take on a Christmas piece.
Amanda Maskell –
Fabulous piece and fun to play with a bit of extra interest in the rhythm and sound.
Emily –
I just finished up making a holiday playlist for my students and I played your version of We Three Kings this year as my own solo and had so much fun learning! This piece is great fun to play with interesting meter changes, a bit of jazz and a sweet and calm section in the middle. It really shows off a bit of everything. Thanks again for a great piece!

One of my student’s favorite Christmas songs! Wonderful arrangement!

This piece is tricky but so much fun!! The variation in style and sound is motivating and made it a fun teacher solo. Hopefully that will motivate one of my students to try it next year.

I love this myself! I don’t have any students advanced enough to tackle it, but hope to one day. It is so innovative and downright fun to play ( as well as challenging!)
Holly Kukkonen –
I have really been enjoying playing this arrangement myself. I especially love the “Pink Panther” vibe going on!
Marijane Kiley –
I love this piece and I’ve had a ball learning it! Thanks Wendy!
Mary Gniech –
One of my favorite Christmas/Epiphany songs, but this is the only arrangement that taps into what wasn’t just the usual camel ride but what must have been the feelings of initial routine (Wendy must have traveled by camel to write that beginning rhythm) followed by excitement, wonder and joy. Fun, beautiful, and brilliant arrangement!

A teenage boy performed We Three Kings in the recital. He really liked the piece but could have used more time to master it. I have another student working on it and doing a good job. The arrangement is wonderful.
