This inventive Paul Clark arrangement cleverly combines the familiar Christmas spiritual with Beethoven's Ode to Joy theme. Opening with a beautiful chorale in a light gospel style, it then breaks into a driving rock style at around 144 bpm. Further variety and interest is generated by modulations through the keys of B-flat, E-flat, and F to a big finish. There are no individual solos, but lots of sectional solis and solid ensemble sections. This accessible and creative chart will be an awesome addition to any holiday or winter concert!
