In Pirate Kings from the East, composer Scott Watson re-imagines the legendary journey of the Three Kings, musically transporting the action from the desert to the high seas, swapping the traditional caravan of camels with a fearsome tall ship and pirate crew! Bold themes, triple-meter sea-shanty rhythms, and exciting percussion contribute to the high-spirited adventure. At the stirring conclusion of this buccaneer drama, one can almost hear the maritime Magi heartily proclaiming, We Three Kings of Orient... ARRRGH! (2:45)

At just under four minutes in length this traditional-style carol uses the words of long standing friend George Mackay Brown's poem 'Hamnavoe Women and the Warbeth Bell'.
