Jesu bleibet meine Freude from Cantata 147. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach’s appointment as the Cantor at Leipzig’s Thomaskirche in 1723 required him to produce a new cantata for every Sunday service.

It is perhaps the best-loved cantata movement from Bach’s entire o…

Plenty of opportunity to study jazz-style phrasing in the concer…

This intimate work opens with a gentle woodwind melody, which gradually becomes more confused as new emotions are introduced.
