JOY TO THE WORLD - SATB, alto solo, piano, brass quintet [FULL SCORE & PARTS]
Joy to the World is arranged in a festive style for alto solo, choir, brass quintet and piano. The alto solo is straightforward, adhering to the original melody. The choir parts are moderately easy (with some divisi) and support the soloist for the most part; however, they are given the third stanza to sing unaccompanied. The brass parts are moderate in difficulty (1st trumpet is required to play a whole note D6 at the finale). A good pianist (late intermediate +) is required to play moderately fast scale passages, both hands, during a transitional section, as well as a number of thick chord passages and leaps. This piece is ideal for use during the Christmas season in both church and concert venues. Permission is given to the purchaser of this score to make as many copies as needed for the choir [Choir Edition]
