Born in Eisenach in 1685, Johann Sebastian Bach was educated largely by his eldest brother, after the early death of his parents. At the age of eighteen he embarked on his career as a musician, serving first as a court musician at Weimar, before appointment as organist at Arnstadt. Four years later he moved to Mühlhausen as organist and the following year became organist and chamber musician to Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Weimar. Securing his release with difficulty, in 1717 he was appointed Kapellmeister to Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cöthen and remained at Cöthen until 1723, when he moved to Leipzig as Cantor at the School of St.Thomas, with responsibility for the music of the five principal city churches. Bach was to remain in Leipzig until his death in 1750.

As a craftsman obliged to fulfil the terms of his employment, Bach provided music suited to his various appointments. It was natural that his earlier work as an organist and something of an expert on the construction of organs, should result in music for that instrument. At Cöthen, where the Pietist leanings of the court made church music unnecessary, he provided a quantity of instrumental music for the court orchestra and its players. In Leipzig he began by composing series of cantatas for the church year, later turning his attention to instrumental music for the Collegium musicum of the University, and to the collection and ordering of his own compositions.

The so-called Kirnberger Collection (BWV 690-713), a title now generally ignored in recent editions, is a collection of music by Bach copied by or for his pupil Johann Philipp Kirnberger. The latter was born in Saalfeld in 1721 and educated in Coburg and Cotha, before, in 1739, travelling to Leipzig for lessons in composition and performance with Bach. After a period spent in Poland, he returned to Dresden, moving then to Berlin as a violinist in the Prussian royal service. In 1754 he entered the service of Prince Heinrich of Prussia and four years later that of Princess Anna Amalia, remaining in this last position until his death in Berlin in 1783. Kirnberger had the highest regard for Bach, and did his utmost to bring about the posthumous publication of the latter's four-part chorale settings.

This work likely dates to Bach's years in Weimar and was probably composed around the time he wrote another chorale fantasia, "Christ lag in Todes Banden" (Christ lay in the bonds of death). This one, "Jesu, meine Freude" (Jesus, my joy), is the grander of the two efforts, the music depicting the Nativity of Christ and possibly foreshadowing the Passion and death. The work is divided into two parts, the first exhibiting some of Bach's finest and liveliest fugal writing for keyboard, and the latter turns emotionally warmer, the tempo slower and the mood gradually exhibiting a darker sense. This brilliant fantasia opens with the chorale theme played in single notes, seeming almost to playfully hop about. Soon, it takes on contrapuntal features and the music sprouts much inner detail. As with many Bach keyboard works, there are many voices at work here, the whole seeming to proclaim a sense of joy. Just past the midpoint, the music suddenly turns serene and tender. While it maintains a relatively tranquil manner alongside the joy from the first half, it comes across as a portent of the aforementioned Passion. Still, the mood of the work is generally joyous, or at least peaceful and serene.

Although originally written for 2 Manual Pipe Organ, I created this Arrangement of the Fantasia (BWV 713) "Jesu, meine Freude" (Jesus, my joy) for 2 Manual Pipe Organ w/Pedals.
