Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring (BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN)

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. Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring is taken from his Cantata No. 147 and is unusually elaborate, treated more like an aria than a chorale. It is perhaps the best-loved cantata movement from Bach’s entire output and is a certain crowd pleaser for your concert programme. / Niveau : 3 / Hymnes et chorals / Répertoire / Fanfare
