Description:
Ranked among the most popular pieces in Bach’s entire oeuvre, "Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring" (Jesus bleibet meine Freude) is the cheerful closing chorale of the cantata "Heart, Mouth, Deed, and Life", BWV 147. Its gently flowing triplet accompaniment, which frames the expansive, radiant chorale melody, has made it one of the most beloved sacred works. In this arrangement, just four voices—two euphoniums and two tubas—create a full, warm, and richly textured harmonic fabric, with the low brass instruments lending this timeless music a special brilliance and depth. The work is well-suited for beginner quartets; if necessary, the first tuba part can be played by a third euphonium. A radiant and uplifting piece that is equally at home in concert settings and church services.
