Product Description
This set and parts contains TWO VERSIONS: one complete version, and one easier short version (see below)
Jesu,
Joy of Mans Desiring
is a chorale from J. S. Bachs cantata Herz un Mund und Tat und Leben
("Heart and Mouth and Deed and Life"), BWV 147. The original scoring was for
trumpet, oboes, two violins, basso continuo, and chorus. The melody is
instantly recognizable and has been featured in countless films, recordings,
and TV shows including Downtown Abbey, The Minority Report, The
Muppet Show, the album Switched-On Bach by Moog-synthesizer artist Wendy
Carlos, and the song "Lady Linda" by The Beach Boys. It is also found on
most Top-100 lists of All-Time Classical Music Favorites.
Two
arrangements are included:
The
Complete Version is the entire cantata and is just over four minutes
long. This version is perfect for worship services and recitals.
The
Short Version is a much simpler arrangement that is ideal for Weddings.
It conveniently repeats sixteen measures so it can be as short as one minute
(perhaps for a candle lighting ceremony), and may be repeated as needed if the
processional takes longer than expected, or for any situation where you need to
vamp.
