Don’t be misled by the title!
This most familiar carol of Isaac Watts is set to the Sacred Harp tune PAXTON in a shape-note style calling for rollicking, exuberant, full-throated singing.
Alternating between a cappella and verses accompanied by organ with detached reed stop articulation, this “Joy to the World” will wake up slumbering infants and let the choir sing with abandon!
