Joy to the World

Lowell Mason, after Handel

For tenor sax and piano

Written in F major, range F4 to F5

A Christmas hymn: the Lord has come, so let every heart make room for him, and let fields and rivers, rocks, hills and plains echo the joy. Isaac Watts wrote the words in 1719, based on Psalm 98; the American church musician Lowell Mason arranged the tune in 1836, and the piano part is his.
