NON-TRADITIONAL MELODY: A great favorite, and a most well-known song among Christmas carols, Joy to the World was not originally written to be a Christmas carol. There were several melodies attached to the poem by Isaac Watts. The traditional version, which has become the most popular, is attributed to Lowell Mason, and is the fourth revised version. The first part of the tune in the popular version is similar to pieces by George Frideric Handel, and the melody for the second part is Lowell Mason's. Presented herein is a fifth version (maybe there are more!). If one of Handel's rousing pieces could be used for the first part of the song, why not another? I have used the Handel's Overture to the Music for the Royal Fireworks for the first part of the song, and have kept Lowell Mason's rousing ending. Please enjoy. Also available for SSAA. ASCAP.

This beloved Christmas hymn was composed in 1847 by Adolphe Adam, using a poem by Placide Cappeau. The piece has quite a history due to the religious affilliations (or lack thereof) of the two, and of wording not agreeing with the Catholic church, among other things. The song has survived all of that, and is beloved by most, as well as being a personal favorite. I have taken some liberties with the lyrics and the meter to bring this piece to you. For choir with piano accompaniment. Please enjoy. Also available for SSAA. ASCAP.
