Quest of the Three Magi is a picturesque journey of the three wise men across a continent from composer Caryn Wiegand Neidhold. At the center is a round melody played by all instrument groups using arco and pizzicato with straightforward rhythms. Optional accompanying percussion augments the holiday feel. Violin 2 and viola are doubled, as are cello and string bass. Quest of the Three Magi is an enchanting piece to program on winter concerts with a magical touch for the Christmas season.
