In case you don’t know this dude called Jotta, you can be
forgiven probably because of the part of the world he comes from.
The young talented
boy is known about this lad but here are the few I have been able to gather about
him.
The thing is, when you talk of a 13 year old boy [1999] from
Brazil, the next thing that comes to peoples mind is a new football (soccer)
whiz kid. Jotta life is about music. The youngest of three children of Antonio and Edna Holanda, living in the
village of Angélica, just outside Sorocaba, Brazil.
The Origins By
Edwin Hawkins’ [Gospel Musician]
Arrangement of
the hymn "Oh, Happy Day" has a long pedigree:
It began as a hymn written in the mid-18th century ("O
happy day, that fixed a choice") by English clergyman Philip Doddridge
(based on Acts of the Apostles Acts 8:35) set to an earlier melody (1704) by Johann
Anastasius Freylinghausen J. A. Freylinghausen.
By the mid-19th
century it had been given a new melody by Edward Francis Rimbault|Edward F.
Rimbault, who also added a chorus,<ref>P. Doddridge and E. F. Rimbault,
"Happy Day", in Joseph Flintoft Berry and Charles H. Gabriel (1914), eddy.,
''Hymns of the Heart'', New York:
Methodist Book Concern, Hymn 134.</ref> and was commonly used for
baptism or confirmation ceremonies in the UK and USA.
The 20th century saw its
adaptation from 3/4 time ¾ to [[4/4 time]] and this new arrangement by Hawkins,
which contains only the repeated Rimbault refrain, with all of the original
verses being omitted.
