A Time for Joy

The Carol A Time for Joy was written in early January 2000 as part of a Bmus course called 'Composing and Arranging for Young People.'

The original 2000 version was for String Orchestra and SSA

A new version was created for Junior Choir, SATB and Orchestra (completed 10th Sep. 2006). This version ironed out mistakes in the original orchestral version and extended the vocal parts. Another version was requested by Andy Pearce of The Ravensbourne School. It was completed in October 2006 and enlarged the orchestra with saxophones and re-arranged the vocal parts for Junior Choir (S) and Chamber Choir (SSA). A further arrangement was made at the same time for orchestra, SATB and children's choir. In August 2007, a version for SATB and piano was made for Voices Anon to perform at their Christmas concert in December 2007.

The score and parts can be bought for £30. Buyers can choose from having hard copies posted to them or PDFs emailed. If you would like to request a new arrangement of the piece, please click the link below.
