Rejoice, East and West pairs two of the most popular holiday pieces. O Come, O Come Emmanuel is one of the staples of music for the season of Advent. Its plaintive melody represents the subdued tone of Advent, waiting and anticipating during the four weeks before Christmas Day. The modal character has roots in Ancient Greece and is characteristic of the music from Middle Eastern countries. The melody of Joy to the World is attributed to George Frideric Handel. It first appeared in 1719 in a collection by Isaac Watts, who adapted the text. It is one of the most published Christmas hymns in North America and is one of the most iconic songs for celebrating the birth of Christ. The connection between these two contrasting pieces is rejoice. In Emmanuel the modal tones arrive at a major chord and the words exclaim Rejoice, rejoice! This is where a bridge is composed to arrive at a jubilant introduction of Joy to the World. This arrangement teaches students dynamic contrast, tempo changes, slurs and ties.

This lilting anthem of unbridled joy serves a dual purpose. From the best-selling Christmas cantata, MorningStar, the text recalls the words from Isaiah anticipating the coming of the Messiah. Yet, the language is also appropriate for Palm Sunday, Resurrection Sunday, or Eastertide as it triumphantly proclaims Christ as King and his victory over sin and death. The choral includes text appropriate for Palm Sunday and Advent, making this anthem an exceeding value. The melody is infectious, as is the feeling of overwhelming happiness this anthem invokes. Rejoice, Rejoice, Ye People is a must for your library.
