Jesu
, Joy of Man's Desiring
is the most common
English title of the 10th
and last movement of the
cantata 'Herz und Mund
und Tat und Leben', BWV
147 (Heart and Mouth and
Deed and Life), composed
by Johann Sebastian Bach
in 1716 and 1723. Today,
it is often performed at
wedding ceremonies as
well as during Christian
festive seasons like
Christmas and Easter,
slowly and reverently.
This is, however, in
contrast to the effect
suggested by Bach in his
original scoring for
voices with trumpet,
oboes, strings, and
continuo. The music's
wide popularity has led
to numerous arrangements
and transcriptions such
as the present one for
clarinet octet or choir
by Prof. Hideaki
Iwai.

Fere
nc Farkas wrote about the
origin of the
Passacaglia: In 1931,
while I was still a
student by Ottorino
Respighi in Rome, I began
to compose a Partita in 4
movements for orchestra,
whose third movement
should be a Passacaglia.
From this work, I only
finished the Passacaglia
and the Scherzo. In 1968,
I took over the
Passacaglia and
transcribed it for organ
without any modification,
except the last 6 bars, I
partially changed. In the
shape of an arch, the
work is based on a theme
that is repeated thirteen
times. Piano initially it
evolves in crescendo to a
climax in the 33rd bar,
then falls gradually to a
gently end. We do not
know when and for whom
Ferenc Farkas wrote this
version for 6 clarinets
of the Passacaglia.
