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.
