Holst: 3 Carols, H.133 I saw Three Ships arranged wind quintet
”I Saw Three Ships (Come Sailing In)" is an English Christmas carol, listed as number 700 in the Roud Folk Song Index. The earliest printed version of "I Saw Three Ships" is from the 17th century, possibly Derbyshire, and was also published by William Sandys in 1833.
The song was probably traditionally known as "As I Sat On a Sunny Bank",and was particularly popular in Cornwall
