Program Notes:
In his song, “O Happy Day,” Philip Doddridge (1702-1751) wrote of the joy he felt on the day he was born again.
He taught me how to watch and pray
And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
In this solo, the arranger has presented this song in a rather introspective way. While the song describes a happy experience, it can also be a very personal one. This setting begins and ends quietly, but it also shows the exuberance of that “happy day when Jesus washed my sins away!”
