This Epiphany carol by Julian Revie for 3-part treble voices and organ was written for a children's choral festival. The inventive organ accompaniment occasionally mimics shimmering starlight. The melodic phrases rise and fall very naturally, sung in unison or 2 parts until the final section of the piece where 3 parts sing canonically. The original text is both poetic and immediate; To follow the star is our joy, our delight, sums up the radiant and mystical nature of this piece. Duration 5:00.

This traditional spiritual has become a favorite the world over. While the star in the east has its origins in the Christmas story, it also had a hidden meaning for enslaved people who were following the North Star to freedom. This arrangement uses a lowered 7th which gives the piece a unique blues feel ideal for TB choirs.
