Title: Joy to the World
Year: 2005
Credits: text: Isaac Watts; music: George Handel arr. Zach Bardon; soloist: Dan Rodriguez; electric guitar: Aaron Bannin
Zach's Role: Conducting
Description: Zach likes redoing hymns and making them actually sound like modern songs. Hence his choice to include Joanne Hogg's reworking of "Almighty Father." Well, this is a classic Christmas hymn, given the Zach Bardon treatment. Zach was experimenting with some ideas one night, and his roommate Aaron Bannin suggested that he try it in 6/8. Suddenly everything clicked. Thanks Aaron.
This song transitioned smoothly into the reprise of Zach's "Alleluia." So isn't that nice... you get to hear it after all!
