Joy to the World! The Lord Is Come
G.F. Handel/arr. Sean Paul.
A contrapuntal statement of "Sing joy!" opens this unaccompanied
holiday arrangement of Handel's classic chorus for church or school,
and this refrain acts as the anchor for each section. SSATB voices sing
verse 1 and then divide in verse 2, taking turns leading with the melody
or accompanying it. Verse 3 opens with the theme in augmentation
before drawing to an exultant close with the opening refrain. Use the
refrain as a worship or concert introit or fanfare.
