Conducted by Þorgerður Ingólfsdóttir and conceived during their collaboration with Björk on Utopia, 'Come and be Joyful' is built out from the choir's phenomenal support set at the Cornucopia live shows, with additional tracks added following the end of the tour. Björk herself was a member of the choir as a teenager, and as a result, has been a long-time collaborator. As such a fan of the choir's work and completely unique sound, Björk featured them on both the Utopia album and had all 52 choristers accompany her around the world to perform at every live show during the Cornucopia tour.
