En 1811 le journal chrétien The Christian Observer publie le texte du cantique de l?Épiphanie Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning de l?évêque anglican Reginald Heber (1783-1826). Ce texte ne sera mis en musique et intégré dans des recueils de cantiques que plusieurs années après la mort de son auteur. James Proctor Harding (1850-1911) fut organiste à l?église St. Andrew d?Islington (Londres) pendant plus de trente-cinq ans. Il composa également des œuvres de musique sacrée. En 1892 il met en musique le texte de Reginald Heber. Le cantique sera publié sous le nom de Morning Star (?Étoile du matin?).Ce charmant arrangement d?Henk Hogesteinapporte une touche de brillance à tout concert de Noël.
