Joy to the World!
Publisher Desc.
I chose to end this collection with another hymn full of hope and glory
and joy. Following a raucous opening giving the impression of a grand brass
fanfare, the prelude launches into the statement of the tune proper found
amongst a flurry of sixteenth note patterns in the right hand that create an
inner rhythmic drive over powerful and syncopated left hand octaves. The left
hand becomes more animated, yet the rhythmic momentum continues to push the
piece forward to its conclusion. There is the sense of timpani beating as the
full orchestra comes to bear in a vibrant and unapologetically joyous finale.
