String Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1420329 By Isaac Watts. By George Frideric Handel. Arranged by Travis Patton. Chamber,Christian,Contemporary,Instructional,Religious. 15 pages. Travis Patton #1001797. Published by Travis Patton (A0.1420329). Joy to the World arranged for string orchestra or string quartet. This somber setting of this typical joyous hymn reflects moments in life when pain, sorrow, or remorse overtake oneās ability to sing āJoy to the Worldā. Sometimes, we must sing this lyric despite our current circumstances in hopes of what is to come. Musically, there are plenty of opportunities to work on melodic playing and bow technique through phrasing and dynamic swells. A hemiola is prominent in the last half of the piece between lower strings and middle voices. After some harmonic tension, an accelerando, and a release, the melody peacefully resolves.
