This is an irrepressibly cheerful holiday opener that incorporates the familiar carol ŒñJoy to the WorldŒî and portions of BeethovenŒÍs ŒñOde to JoyŒî. The sense of celebration and happiness that both of these melodies evoke complement each other and help to create a festive seasonal work. Young musicians and audience members will enjoy the mash-up of well known classics!
