Good quality performances of Joy to the World. They all add to the article and are of good EV. The chorus would probably be better with backing music, but alas I couldn't find any on the US Army Choir's website, TTT's been uploading some good files! :)

- Oppose: None of these present the piece in both high enough quality, and the straight-forwards, standard arrangement (Is the Navy Band version in 7/8? It has the feel of a truncated rhythm.) needed for the encyclopedic value requirement, unfortunately. In particular, strong oppose #3. 1 is the best of these, but it's badly overmic'd.

- Comment I'm not that confident with Audacity, else I'd do some volume reduction. I had my volume bar set at 10 and even then it was quite dominating... —James (Talk • Contribs) • 9:55pm • 11:55, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That, unfortunately, is a recording issue. Microphone was badly positioned, with too much amplification. Once that's been done, there's no way to undo it in post production. =/ Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:15, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- By the way, you wrote "Joy to the World sung by the United States Army Chorus, without music". You meant "without accompaniment", I believe. Without music would make this sound a lot like 4'33". Or possibly rap. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:18, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Whoops :P Thanks for picking that up! How silly of me. —James (Talk • Contribs) • 5:58pm • 07:58, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Promoted Joy to the World.ogg (the piano version). This was a hard decision to come to. The US army chorus version has the technical quorum to pass but Adam's strong oppose based on EV issues was a strong deterrent against promoting it. Also, all voters agreed that this was the best or one of the best out of the whole group. Personally, I think that this may be on the table to be delisted some time in the future. --Guerillero | My Talk 05:41, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
