Derric Johnson directed my college choir. Listening to this song brings back some great memories! If you want some of his many "Derric-isms" I'd be happy to share...
I HIGHLY admire the director of this fine sounding group! I would have loved to be under such a leader and in a talented group like this when I was in high school. (shenandoah is awesome too!)
if you liked this recording, you should check out our other performance of this song on youtube as well as other derric johnson christmas arrangements. its on my profile (bimmerboy87) and this profile (BHSsinger2007). check 'em out and comment on them.
As a fellow Candlelight alumni, I have to say I love this rendition! I've never actually heard the bells part from the audience perspective, since they never re-recorded the track on the official CD... you guys pull it off beautifully - and make me wonder why Mr. Johnson didn't start off with that arrangement in the first place!! Well done!!
Wow! amazing arrangement of Joy to the World. Where can I get copies of his works?

Excellent. It is rare that a group, especially a HS group can pull-off one of Derric Johnson's charts as well as this group did. EXCELLENT!!!

This choir sounds AMAZING. Like the Voices of Liberty themselves.
But, I must say... I hate performing this song. If you had to sing it daily, you would, too. haha. =D
