O Happy Day
$29.95
This version of the hymn “O Happy Day” is an international assemblage made over a period of almost 300 years. The original words to the song were written in the 18th century by Philip Doddridge, an Englishman. The spritely melody to this version was composed in the 20th century by Go¨sta Linstro¨m, a Swede. The arrangement of Lindstrom’s tune first appeared in the Musical Salvationist and was made by Emil Soderstrom, a Dane. The present arrangement for brass was made in the 21st century by an American. If nothing else, it shows that happiness is a good thing, and this melody shows how infectious it can be.
