For many choral singers, Jesu, meine Freude BWV 227 is not one, but Bach's motet. And indeed, among the exceptional works that Bach's motets as a whole must be described as, it is once again an exceptional work that stands out not only due to its temporal extension. The formal structure is also unique, with the chorale and Bible verses performed alternately in 11 movements and arranged according to a symmetrical plan. The motet was most likely composed for a funeral service, but nothing is known about the exact circumstances. However, there are clear indications that the motet as we know it today was probably not composed in one go, but is the result of a longer creative process.
