Arranged by Keith Christopher
Let loose the joy of Christmas with Keith Christopher's arrangement of this traditional carol! An energetic accompaniment sets the tone for the choir's unison entrance. SA singing follows melismatically above a unison men's line. As "Joy to the World! The Lord Is Come" breaks in, SA and TB continue to sing in contrasting rhythms. Delightful! Part for 3-octave Handbells (or Handchimes) included.
