About Joy to the World

Words: Isaac Watts (1719)

Tune: "Antioch", arranged by Lowell Mason (1836)

Joy to the World sets Isaac Watts's words, published in 1719 in his Psalms of David and based on Psalm 98, to the tune Antioch, which Lowell Mason published in 1836, arranging an English tune printed a few years before. Our arrangement is read from Mason's own four parts in The National Psalmist of 1848, in D, the key of his Modern Psalmist of 1839. This is the first verse for 2 to 4 singers: the tune runs straight down the scale on "Joy to the world", and on "And heav'n and nature sing" the tenor and bass come in a bar behind the others, as Mason already printed it in 1836 and as choirs still sing it today.
