Joy To The World Piano Notes With Letters

Joy To The World Piano Notes With Letters – F major F major E major D major C# major B major B major A major G major

The words were written by English hymn writer Isaac Watts based on Psalm 98 from the Bible. The song was first published in 1719 in Watts’ collection; The Psalms of David: Imitated in the Language of the New Testament, and Applied to the Christian State and Worship. Watts wrote the words to “Joy to the World” as a hymn celebrating Christ’s triumphant return at the end of the age, not a song celebrating His first coming. Only the second half of Watts’ texts are in use today.

The music was adapted and arranged to Watts’ words by Lowell Mason in 1839 from an older tune then believed to be by Handel, not least because the theme of the refrain (And heaven and nature sing…) is in the orchestral opening and accompaniment of the recitative Comfort ye from Handel’s Messiah, and the first four notes correspond to the opening of the choruses Lift up your heads and Glory be to God from the same oratorio. However, Handel did not write the complete melody. The title “Antioch” is commonly used for the tune.

The first four bars contain a descending C major scale, so play it like a normal scale, starting with the fifth (pinky) finger, moving to the thumb (on F), then moving to the middle (third) finger to play E, ending up on the thumb finger on C again.

Pull your index finger to the next note – G – if you can, as this makes the next run easy. Play the descending series of notes with your fingers in sequence, bending your index finger where necessary.

Below is a simple bass line for a song using only one note at a time. Most bass notes are whole notes (half notes) with one measure of half notes (minimums). You play only the notes C, F, and G.

This bass line is a bit more complex and follows the melody rhythmically, often mirroring the melody in some way.

The Hidden Melodies Of Subways Around The World

In the final version of Joy to the World, I added two-note and three-note chords in the right hand, always with the melody note as the highest note. The bassline has also been tweaked a bit to match the harmony.

This lead sheet contains the melody, chord changes and text of four verses on one printable sheet.

I added slash notation for some of the chords to add color and also make them transition more smoothly.
