This less-often heard gentle, yet regal piece is accessible for concert or sacred Christmas events. With three sets of verses, arranged flexibly, the duration varies from 3:00 to 4:20, depending on whether the performers choose first or second endings. Joy To The World ushers in a modulation (from F to Ab). The keyboard then complements the voices by playing the melody of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing through the latter part of the piece.
Text: Cecil Frances Alexander; Music: IRBY; Henry J. Gauntlett, Felix Mendelssohn.
