Johann Sebastian Bach

Jesus, Que Ma Joie Demeure Sol Majeur

The ANACROUSE collection offers novice and experienced pianists alike a wide choice of classical works, from the Renaissance to the modern era.

We have set ourselves the goal of offering both "must-haves" from the classical repertoire and pieces by sometimes forgotten composers, all of undeniable pedagogical value. Each piece, sold individually, has been the subject of careful editorial work, both in terms of the musical text and its engraving, in order to guarantee musicians the conditions indispensable to the pleasures derived from frequent trade in these works.

The scores are offered in the form of traditional works (paper sheets), and also available by download.



The Cantata BWV 147 includes one of the best-known chorales in Bach's entire oeuvre: Jesus, let my joy remain. This piano arrangement faithfully reflects the spirit of the original work. A true message of peace, this chorale is based on a melodic march with a ternary rhythm and continuous eighth notes. This ritornello, in the genre of the pastorale, symbolizes all of Johann Sebastian Bach's sacred music. A testament to the composer's unshakeable faith, it remains one of the most popular melodies in classical music, and many people hum it quite naturally, without always knowing to which theme it belongs.
