The collection includes works based on the following hymn tunes:

Antioch (Joy to the World)

Divinum Mysterium (Of the Father’s Love Begotten)

Go Tell it on the Mountain

I Wonder as I Wander

In dulci jubilo (Good Christian Friends, Rejoice)

Resonet in laudibus (Joseph Dearest, Joseph Mine)

Stille Nacht (Silent Night)

Une Jeune Pucelle (Twas in the Moon of Wintertime)

Wie schön leuchtet (How Brightly Shines the Morning Star)

All of the settings in this collection were written for my wife, Joan. Her assistance in preparing the organ registrations and general notation were essential to the success of the pieces. Heavenly Joy is a celebration of our teamwork.
