I Saw Three Ships

A bold and invigorating accompaniment creates a delightful “seafaring” flavor in this traditional English carol setting by Sandra Eithun. The move to 4/4 meter in the middle section offers a calming change to the brisk opening and eventually returns to the 6/8 time for an even more dynamic, energy-filled ending. This 3-6 octave arrangement is a jubilant offering appropriate for any holiday program. Measures total 114.
