Good examples....and Verdi is another composer who one would hardly call “joyful”.

It's true that everyone has his/her own definition of joyful.

Just imagine the answer to this Most Joyful Composers question from a masochist...  :P

Ha!! Did I ever mention the guy I knew in college who told us that Le sacre du printemps sounded like his ideal sex? I've never been able to listen to the piece without wondering if he ever succeeded in achieving his goal...

But what really gives an artist joy is making art.
I would also say that any piece that's well done (or that engages a listener or two) is a cause for joy, a cause of joy, no matter what the subject. I can think of dozens, hundreds, of pieces that have grim or tragic or sad subjects that are a joy, a delight to listen to.

As Auden said in his Composer sonnet:

You, alone, alone, O imaginary song,
Are unable to say an existence is wrong
