Gifts Of The Magi - 2. Treasure Of Myrrh

Gifts of the Magi (Tree of Frankincense, Treasure of Myrrh, Song of Gold) joins Laurie Richardson Johnson's expressive texts with Ralph Johnson's lyrical, harmonically rich music. Inspired by the biblical story of the Magi, the poetry explores frankincense as a royal and sacred gift, myrrh as a symbol of healing, and gold as light and love beyond wealth. Ralph Johnson's setting is graceful, flowing, and sophisticated - an a cappella work well-suited for advanced secondary, collegiate, chamber, or professional choirs.
