Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Known all over the world, Beethoven's melody already makes its listeners smile with joy upon hearing its first few notes. This arrangement seeks to heighten that excitement by creating a rhythmic and melodic playfulness from both violin and piano. Loud fanfares encompass both ends of the work, and the melody receives a jocular rhythmic change in its original form while also utlizing meter changes of the atypical 7/8 and the compound 6/8 to sustain that new feel. This will be a joyful experience for all! Violin part score included with purchase. Included in the collection "Great is Thy Faithfulness: Ten Sacred Hymns for Violin and Piano," a collaboration project with violinist Kelsei Peppars.
