Review:
On the surface, this is a medley of "Joy to the World" and "How Great Our Joy". However, in addition to these two main carols, the inspiration for the opening fanfare, the interludes, and the coda comes from other carols whose texts use the word "joy." The ending is a rousing musical statement that personifies the phrase "joyful and triumphant." 176 measures.
The 6-octave version is part of the Red River Gold series.
