Sometimes an organist’s ability to play three different rhythms (hand, hand & feet) at the same time blows my mind!
Even though this carol lacks historical accuracy, the religious message of Christmas is there.
Enjoy!

December 19: I Saw Three Ships | Stefanussen & Elliott
Sometimes I get carried away watching random youtube videos of people playing the organ. I really wanted to find a video of Richard Elliott playing his arrangement of I Saw Three Ships but I was unsuccessful. I found the next best one...a musician named Rob Stefanussen playing Elliott’s arrangement and he does a pretty good job! It’s lacking the presentation of a real organ but computers are so good these days at mimicking any type of concert hall.

Richard Elliot is amazing! So talented! He created a new, fun version of the 12 days of Christmas this year, which he played at the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert. I'll try to find a video for you- it was great.
