Joys to the World
Joys to the Worldwinter holidayKirkThis song combines Handel's Joy to the World with Three Dog Night's song of the same name (just sings 1 verse of lyrics) For non-holiday seasons, you can start with "alternate opening" (written at the end) and start into 1 and add more verses
Melodica, Trumpet, Alto Sax, and Baritone echo melody
Trombone has counter point for Handel (you can look at the Baritone if you want to do melody for that, but Baritone mirrors trumpet for 3 Dog Night)
Tenor Sax mirrors Trombone
Bari Sax mirrors TubaHandel plays through twice. End of second time holds note without resolving chord... leader shouts "ONE! TWO!" and then low brass come in with pickups.
Simple version of 3 Dog Night:
1 - Instrumentals
2 - Instrumentals
1 - Vocal Soloist
2 - Everyone but Low Brass sings

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
CHORUS
Singin' joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
VERSE
And if I were the king of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the war
Make sweet pancakes for you
(CHORUS)
VERSES
You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I'm a high life flyer and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin' son-of-a-gun
I said a straight shootin' son-of-a-gun
(CHORUS)
