about
La prima carola natalizia americana a diventare famosa, e ad entrare a pieno diritto nel repertorio tradizionale ottocentesco, è opera del reverendo John Henry Hopkins Jr. nel 1857. L’occasione fu una recita natalizia tenutasi al Seminario di Teologia Generale di New York City, dove Hopkins era insegnante di musica. Da notare che contrariamente alla maggior parte delle altre carole, delle quali solo il testo venne scritto nell’Ottocento in giustapposizione a musiche preesistenti, in questo caso l’autore scrisse sia le parole che la musica.
Questa famosa composizione fu l’ultimo contributo del reverendo Hopkins al seminario, infatti dall’anno successivo si spostò a Williamsport, Pennsylvania, dove divenne rettore della Chiesa Episcopale di Cristo, che ha sede in uno dei più belli edifici religiosi in stile neogotico degli Stati Uniti.
lyrics
We three kings of orient are
(Testo e musica di John Henry Hopkins)
We three kings of orient are.
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star
O Star of wonder, star of night,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to thy perfect light.
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Pray'r and praising, all men raising
worship Him, God most high
O Star of wonder, star of night,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to thy perfect light.
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
over us all to reign
O Star of wonder, star of night,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to thy perfect light.
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume.
Breathes of life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
sealed in the stone-cold tomb
O Star of wonder, star of night,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to thy perfect light.
