Product Description

Joy to the World is a beloved Christmas carol that has been sung in churches and homes around the world for centuries. While the melody is often associated with George Frideric Handel, the songs origins are a bit more complex.

The melody we most commonly associate with Joy to the World is a compilation of several parts from George Frideric Handels oratorio Messiah. The most recognizable section is likely the Hallelujah chorus, which is known for its majestic and triumphant sound. However, other sections from Messiah were also adapted to create the melody for Joy to the World.

Its important to note that Handel did not compose the melody specifically for Joy to the World. The arrangement we know today is the work of Lowell Mason, an American composer who lived in the 19th century. Masons arrangement made the hymn more accessible to congregations and helped to popularize it

Adapted for String Quartet
