About Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Sung at Epiphany, John Goss’s setting of Brightest and best of the sons of the morning is a stirring hymn for SATB choir. The text speaks of the wise men travelling to Bethlehem, guided by a star to find the infant Jesus. Goss’s music captures the sense of awe and devotion inherent in the text, with rich harmonies and a soaring melodic line. This hymn is suitable for any occasion celebrating the manifestation of Christ, and its powerful message and traditional character make it a fitting choice for church choirs.
