I Saw Three Ships
A bagpipe-like drone in fifths opens this joyful setting of the traditional English carol. Along with this tune, "Divinum Mysterium" (Of the Father's Love Begotten), "Tempus adest floridum" (Good King Wenceslas), "St. Louis" (O Little Town of Bethlehem), "Antioch" (Joy to the World), "Gloria" (Angels We Have Heard on High) and "In dulci jubilo" (Good Christian Friends, Rejoice) make brief appearances and are intertwined with the title tune. Measures total 130.
