Joy to the World

Description

Full Orchestra

Irish Traditional Ensemble is also included in the score, and parts are bundled with this orchestration. The ensemble may play as a “feature” in front of orchestra; or individual ensemble parts may be omitted if not available, or played by orchestral players.

The Piano four-hands accompaniment from the choral score will add brilliance to this orchestration, but is not required with large/full-size orchestras.

Note: This scoring may be performed without choir as a stand-alone orchestral work (with or without piano four-hands). Consider it for an instrumental postlude/reprise/encore on your Christmas concert!

You haven't heard Joy to the World like this before! Dan Forrest reaches into his Irish traditional music experience to pair the well-known carol with a newly composed Irish slide, and the result is an explosion of joy that you simply must hear to believe! With piano four-hands, optional Irish traditional ensemble, and/or full orchestra.
