Discovery: Michael Janzen

I’m sure we all know the song I Saw Three Ships – Canadian pianist Michael Janzen has reimagined the song into a more classical piece of music.

By Jane Howkins

I Saw Three Ships is fairly minimalist at times, but this subtleness really allows the beauty of the piece to shine through. Michael varies things up slightly, building upon the main themes of the track occasionally, before returning to the main melody of the piece. It sounds really beautiful, with the piano lending a wintery feel to the music, just right for this time of year! You can find this gorgeous Christmas tune below:
