Product Description

Variations on Joy to the World is an arrangement of Joy to the World for symphony orchestra. The piece starts off with a hoe down featuring a trumpet, oboe, sleigh bells, wood block, and slapstick. Then the fun and games abruptly end, leading to a slower, more calm style. The slow section of this piece features a clarinet solo and the bassoons and contrabassoon. This builds for some time before arriving at a chord, then silence. The violins play a fragmented version of the melody, modulating to a minor key. The scherzo begins. Filled with brassy melodies and woodwind flurries, this ending is exciting! But, not before the flute pokes fun at the orchestra at the end...
