Discography
Lunta (2015)
Joy-choir brings the holiday spirit with a mix of cheery, devout, traditional, and modern music.
Lunta is Joy-choir’s second Christmas themed album and its track list is based on 2014 Christmas concert. Back then the choir sung alongside traditional Finnish Christmas songs compositions by John Rutter, an integral part of English Christmas traditions. To balance out the traditional the album has Kalle Ruusukallio’s composition specifically made for Joy-choir ‘Lunta’ and Christmas song ‘Enkeli’, heard first time as a choral arrangement.

Vie mua (2014)
The album consists of Northern Carelian rock and pop music groups’ songs arranged into a cappella form.
Vie mua was recorded in spring 2013 in Rantakylä church. Songs were first rehearsed in autumn 2011. Arranger Krzysztof Dobosiewicz created for us quite a challenge with complex rhythms and melodies. Hundreds of hours of practice, various singing camps, and three concerts finally culminated into recorded form.
The album features songs from groups 51 koodia, Happoradio, Ismo Alanko Säätiö, Neljä Ruusua, Nightwish, and Stella. The album’s production was handled by Karelia University of Applied Sciences, recording, editing, and mixing by Henri Heikkilä, recording direction by Juha Linna, and the album’s artistic production by Janne Piipponen.
