Joy Dance,
by Scott Watson,
musically conveys an
unrestrained expression
of happiness and
exhilaration. Inspired by
David's ecstatic dance of
praise in 2 Samuel 6:14
(And David danced before
the Lord with all his
might...), the piece
combines artifacts of
popular and contemporary
music, including bold
syncopations, a driving
5/4 meter groove, and use
of contemporary and
gospel harmonies. A large
percussion section (7
players, including two
mallet parts and timpani)
adds essential color and
energy. Whether it's
worship, thankfulness,
celebration, or blissful
abandon, this composition
reflects the radiant
rejoicing of those who
revel in all life's
goodness! (4:10).
