Recently, I was looking for a version of Joyful, Joyful. One of my first stops online was to see if Dunn & Wilt had a version. They did. I love it. Subtle piano-scaped corners with a core of electronic beat and pads is an apt description. My Joyful, Joyful moment with this song occurred as I sang along with the song, all the while feeling like the Euro-pop soundscapes of the late 80's had somehow floated in the window. Nicely arranged, simply sung and thoughtfully sparse at the most important moments, this is a great little peice of music.
The song, of course, was the original creation of Henry van Dyke, with Beethoven's music framing its poetic form. Dunn & Wilt bring their signature expression to the song, and it takes a delightful form. The nice thing is you don't have to believe me- you can go get the song yourself, for free. No strings. They let you download it and its yours. Cool. Go check it out this way:
- Go to http://bit.ly/AqK3us
- Then scroll down to the song "Joyful, Joyful (We Adore Thee)" and use the "Download album" button.
- Follow the instructions and pretty soon you have the song.
I love it! Thanks Dunn & Wilt.
