JOY TO THE WORLD GAWTHROP (702106L ) (Christmas Organ Folios )

Daniel E. Gawthrop needs little introduction to musicians everywhere--his catalog of beloved choral and organ music is performed frequently around the world. In his first Christmas organ collection, Gawthrop has arranged eight familiar carols in varied and characterful settings. Two of the pieces ("Joy to the World" and "O Come, All Ye Faithful") have dual performance possibilities: they can be played as organ solos or used as multi-verse, festive accompaniments for supporting congregational and choral singing.
