Joy to the World tells the stories behind some of the most
wonderful and best-loved songs of the season that express the
spiritual sentiments of Christmas. While many other Christmas songs
celebrate home and family, romance, and winter weather, the songs
whose stories are told here express the underlying reality of the
Christmas season between Advent and Epiphany -- the birth of Jesus
of Nazareth.
The songs in Joy to the World are among the most enduring and
permanent of the season's musical traditions. They have stood the
test of time and express the many moods and emotions that evoke the
spiritual significance of Christmas. Reflecting many eras and
different cultures, Joy to the World reveals their origins, the
reasons why they were written, and why they are so beloved. The
book is organized into six sections of Christmas songs and carols
from the Americas, England and Ireland, France and Spain, Germany
and Austria, and Greece and Rome, and classical Christmas
music.
