Review:
Brenda Austin has deftly combined the tunes "How Great Our Joy"; "He Is Born, the Holy Child"; and "Joy to the World" in this festive medley celebrating the birth of the Christ child. Featuring unexpected key changes and harmonies, various stopped techniques, and sharp dynamic contrasts, it’s a great choice for the Advent or Christmas season! Begins and ends in Ab Major, with a middle section in F Major. 80 measures.
