Don’t be misled by the title! This most familiar carol of Isaac Watts is set to the Sacred Harp tune paxton in a shape-note style calling for rollicking, exuberant, full-throated singing. Alternating between a cappella and verses accompanied by organ with detached reed stop articulation, this “Joy to the World†will wake up slumbering infants and let the choir sing with abandon!
Add a touch of shapednote singing this Christmas.
