He is also well known for "The Three Kings", an arrangement of a song by Peter Cornelius as a choral work for Epiphany.Born into a Welsh musical family at Llandaff, Atkins graduated with a bachelor of music degree from The Queen's College, Oxford in 1892, and subsequently obtained a Doctorate in Music (Oxford).
