Joy to the World

This is certainly one of the most beloved pieces of holiday music throughout the world. This arrangement of Joy to the World by David Marlatt is fairly standard in its opening and proceeds through the verse and chorus with the instruments pairing up in duets. The highest voices play fanfare passages against the melody in the mid voices. The melody suddenly goes into a pizzicato-like half time feel before a return to the opening material to bring the work to  a close.
