Joy To The World is a popular Christmas carol, the tune usually used today is from an 1848 edition by Lowell Mason for The National Psalmist (Boston, 1848). Similarities between parts of Handel's Messiah and "Joy to the World", have been dismissed as 'chance resemblance' by Handel scholars today. It seems likely that the tune as we know it was probably from an 1833 publication by Thomas Hawkes with the title “Comfort”, Author Unknown. I have combined Handelian elements with the tune that most people know to create an arrangement that works well for guitar quartet retaining the bounce and vigour of the carol.
These arrangements are for performance and are very precise. Guitar quartets are enormous fun especially as there is so little ensemble music for guitar that is easy to play but also rewarding to listen to. The technical level of each guitar part is not challenging so on a good day you could get something worth listening to in an hour. If you don't have four guitars other instruments could easily be used.
