The title track of the album "We Free Kings" is a variation of a carol written by who?
We Free Kings We Free Kings is a 1961 LP by the jazz multi-instrumentalist Roland Kirk. His group works through a set of bluesy post-bop numbers, including a highly regarded version of Charlie Parker's "Blues for Alice". The title track, a Kirk composition, is a variation on the Christmas carol "We Three Kings".
Angels We Have Heard on High "Angels We Have Heard on High" is a Christmas carol with the lyrics written by James Chadwick (bishop), to the music from a French song called 'Les Anges Dans Nos Campagnes'. The music is the same as the original song, though Chadwick's lyrics albeit unique and original are clearly derived and inspired, and in parts loosely translated from the original song. The song commemorates the story of the birth of Jesus Christ found in the Gospel of Luke, in which shepherds outside Bethlehem encounter a multitude of angels singing and praising the newborn child.
