The Adoration of the Magi - Timothy Stephens

William Butler Yeats ends his short story The Adoration of the Magi with the narrator describing a centuries old Gaelic prayer…" when I pray against the demons I repeat a prayer which was made I know not how many centuries ago to help some poor Gaelic man or woman who had suffered with a suffering like mine.”.

The ancient prayer is presented for female voices and solo violin followed by The Magi for string orchestra, piano and the full choir.
