I Saw Three Ships

Description

Soprano, Alto, Piano, Flute, Percussion — From the soft beginning to the rollicking final climax, this arrangement of I Saw Three Ships should be sung with an excited intensity that gradually builds as the piece progresses. The choir’s tone should remain light and bouncy to mimic the playfulness of the jig-like melody found in the piano and optional flute parts. Feel free to play with the dynamic level of the held notes based on your choir’s ability level to add contrast and interest. Jolly and jaunty, rhythmic and fun, this energetic setting of the traditional English carol is sure to be a holiday favorite for your treble choir. Accessible ranges and a supportive accompaniment make this a great choice for emerging choirs. Add the optional frame drum and flute parts for a more stylistic interpretation. Also available for TB Voices (BL1011), Three-Part Mixed Voices (BL1143),and SATB Voices (CM9763).
