Jesu bleibet meine Freude from Cantata 147-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.

Convient pour n'importe quelle occasion, ce travail intègre celtique, pop, et les styles de rock entrelacés avec des riffs accrocheurs et des harmonies contemporaines pour une expérience rafraîchissante et amusante pour votre auditoire et de l'ensemble! / Concert Band

Introducing your young musicians to J.S. Bach's poignantly familiar work is now possible with this easy arrangement by Samuel R. Hazo. Treated in an easy-to-grasp 3/4 time signature your students will experience the genius ofBach and the alluring qualities of this gorgeous theme. Each section of the band gets a turn at the melody and rhythmically there is nothing faster than a quarter note. Guaranteed to sound great with limited rehearsal time! Dur:1:45

This impressive work by Samuel Hazo begins and ends with a unifying dramatic and powerful fanfare theme. In contrast the middle section is built around faster and modern-sounding rhythms and harmonies while incorporating traditional melodies (including a hint of Bach's Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring) lending a unique and timeless quality to the music.Commissioned as a tribute from one band director to his predecessor this is a rewarding and effective work for today's bands.

Two timeless Christmas favorites by J.S.Bach are gloriously arranged for the Concert Band and ready for your interpretation. BREAK FORTH O BEAUTEOUS HEAVENLY LIGHT and JESU JOY OF MAN'S DESIRING comprise the two contrasting movements (a Chorale and a Ballad). You know how valuable chorale style playing can be for the band’s tone quality breath support intonation and phrasing. With thorough cueing throughout the arrangement TWO BACH CHRISTMAS CLASSICS will work beautifully even if your group has instrumentation problems. Christmas music does not ordinarily leap to mind as a choice for spring festival use but you may wish to consider it in this case. Great music isgreat music any time of the year! Magnificent!
