(Instumental)



This piece was written by seeing the journey 

of the wise men. The opening note on the piano 

is the Star of Bethlehem. The shimmering is our

trip down from the Star to the sands that are lit 

by the midnight sky. The first melody of music

is the first camel as it slowly passes by. When 

the melody begins to harmonize with itself, we

see the secong camel pass. The third and final 

camel begins the majority of the piece. In the 

faces of the wise men we see weariness driven

by faith. The gifts they are bearing are ones of

request and honor. The music slows to reveal,

over the last hill of sand, the little town of

Bethlehem , the end of their journey and the

beginning of hope.
