Seven Joys of Christmas (Catalog No. 2709) , composed nearly 40 years ago, remains one of the most popular holiday pieces in the ECS catalog. by Kirke Mechem I scrapped my original program, and decided that I could write easy pieces for this group faster than I could search the literature. Fortunately, I had worked with inexperienced singers before, and had learned that anyone who can carry a tune can sing polyphony, so long as chromaticism and difficult leaps are avoided.

Arrangements of carols was an obvious solution (but not the department store carols!), and I wanted to write more than simple chordal arrangements. When I decided on seven joys, I looked for carols from different countries that would express these joys of the season: the joy of love, of bells, of Mary, of children, of the new year, of dance and of song. I wrote one piece a day, so the work was ready for the first rehearsal.
