Joy to the World

Spread Christmas joy with this arrangement of Joy to the World for trumpet duet by Eddie Lewis. This is duet number three in our Christmas carol trumpet duet series. Our plans are to continue publishing these duets until we have enough of them to make a book. The duets in this Christmas carol duets series are a sequel to the Trumpet Hymn Duets series/book that was published in 2020. That series of trumpet duets is fundamentally different from most of my other duets (Ive written literally hundreds). Typically, when I write trumpet duets, I try to make them clever. Clever duets are fun to play and fun to listen to. But the Trumpet Hymn Duets are not about being clever. On the book cover I say that they are hymns first and trumpet duets second. We are taking the same approach with these Christmas carol trumpet duets. The objective is to write trumpet duets that are 100% appropriate for traditional, Christina church services. We do this by honoring the mood and harmonies of the original Christmas carols. They are Christmas carols first, trumpet duets second.
