Jesu, Joy of man Desiring

[rainbow0921]

Can we stop all the bickering about language and just enjoy the piece, plz?

[Numenefolositinca]

@AtemnoYugi1232

it's actually movement 7

[joshuitaaa]

¡La partitura no se ve un carajo!

[Nonie46]

Orionman, by "name", you mean, the title of the song? Yes, the German title is JESU BLEIBET MEINE FREUDE. Howver, its English RENDITION (not translation) is JESU JOY OF MAN'S DESIRING. I believe, that's a correct rendition because the German lyrics itself has something to do with man's desire to have joy in his God.

[teizle1]

this song is simply breath taking

[MrSmartiebaker]

the name isnt jesu bleibet meine freude. it's Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben. We do this in school now. I'm a german

[Twifreak1412]

@MrSmartiebaker Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben (BWV 147) is a cantata written by Bach. Jesu bliebet meine Freude is merely the 10th movement, although it is the most well known.

[AtemnoYugi1232]

@MrSmartiebaker Well, that's right but wrong. Yes, Cantata 147 is called Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, but movement 10 is Jesus bleibet meine Freude

[apodo360]

which Jesus? my neighbor Jesus?

[mckeonism]

Yeah, yeah, Bach was German, but that doesn't mean he wassmall-minded.

[burkardhanis]

Bach's oeuvre is the "Fifth Gospel " of Our Great God and Saviour Jesus Christ!

[LayersofTruth777]

I am assuming that means Jesus is my friend. What great thing can happen when we are Jesus' Friend.

[Magaly2128]

Saludos!!

I know a very good interpretation by pianist Dinu Lipatti. The score is a piano version by Myra Hess or Ferruccio Busoni. You can listen to Dinu Lipatti on youtube.

[worldclasspervert]

[D7272D]

[GEastman1973]

Sí coincido contigo Cristo instituyó su Iglesia y solamente existe una la cristiana, cuya sede está en Roma, pero a la vez en todos los coraónes y mentes de los hombres. Viva el Salvador del mundo, el Hijo del Altísimo, Emmanuel, el renuevo de Jesé, el prometido a Moisés, el Mesías, Él cual Isaias narra de manera asombrosa, en suma Viva Jesús Nazareno, el Rey del universo.

[ilovepsytrance]

solo hay una iglesia y religion la CATOLICA , PESE A QUIEN LE PESE  FUNDADA POR CRISTO

[0trovagoMas]

@ilovepsytrance ¿Y que haces entonces oyendo música compuesta por un protestante? Johan Sebastian Bach era cristiano PROTESTANTE , pésele a quien le pese

[rainbow0921]

bach rules!

[Orionman8]

The name is: Jesu bleibet meine Freude

Not Jesu, Joy of man Desiring. Bach was a german.

[TheAspenTom]

Technically, though, Bach didn't even title this except to call it a Chorale. "Jesu bleibet meine Freude" is merely the first line of the 10th movement of his cantata "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben." The first time this chorale appears in the cantata (as the 6th movement) its first line is "Wohl mir, dass ich Jesum habe."

[GrauenausderTiefe]

@Orionman8

This is instrumental. of course you cannot translate the text into english and sing it. But if it is just for the title i think bach would not care that much. He did not write the text. He just made the music for his church.

[Chefodeath]

@Orionman8 and yet...somehow...the music remains unchanged. Interesting.

[Twifreak1412]

@Orionman8 It does not necessarily have to have the title 'Jesu bleibet meine Freude' if it is the english translation sung by a chorus, or is the arrangement by Ian Bailey-Mortimer or Myra Hess.

[kernv]

@Orionman8 but it's commonly known by its' English title. One of many great German composers.

[christianj97]

im playing this is band and its awesome

[mavrhik]

makes me think of Christmas

[togravus]

This is great! I think it is a bit more slowly usually...but this arrangement is great too:)!

LONG LIVE BACH:)!

[GLkamina121]

@togravus playing this any slower on a trumpet would be torturous. cuz there's almost no place to breath :/

[GLkamina121]

@GLkamina121 well... it's torture for me to play it any slower lol

[rainbow0921]

@GLkamina121 LOL! it is brutal, but you breathe, you die.... man up! you can do it!

[GLkamina121]

@rainbow0921 haha! thanks! I've gottenbetter at it, maybe i could put it up on youtube :)

[lizgirl621]

I remeber playing this in marching band my first year it was fun

[ditte3]

Beautiful.

[BassClariFtwz]

this sounds awesome, i can play the main chorus on the bass clarinet

[MateusGarrute]

absolutely...gorgeous!!!!!!!!

[XxOakDryadxX]

In my opinion, I think the tempo is a tad quick, but it sounds lovely overall

[TomtenT]

The tempo is way too "quick" ( high ) !

Phrasing is REALLY sloppy, too.

This sounds like a machine playing ( and it probably is too ).

Only ONE ( 1 ) single expression in the whole piece: the ritardando at the end ( and that is exaggerated ).

One ( half ) star rating : YOU CAN DO BETTER !

[humbertussss]

esta musica es un regalo de dios

[cosbyfish]

man now I wish I never gave up the trumpet

[incongra]

I can play it on the harmonica

[enefebmerabril]

Una de mis piezas favorita de Bach ... ¡¡MARAVILLOSAMENTE HERMOSO!!

[sccrqween1295]

i played it yesterday on the tenor sax

[mariobrosfan321]

perfect. i absolutely love this song. Bach is a composer who deserves much more credit. the sound of the french horn is always so warm an flowing.

[klgaminguidez]

i learned it on clarinet, but I think it sounds great on oboe

[BOMBINGBANGER]

a bit too fast

[bigbigjake123]

i love this song i have to learn it on the trumpit

[risterion]

Beethoven ya lo dijo: «Él no debió llamarse Bach (arroyo) sino meer (mar)».

[darkrai54]

I'm Learning this one.

[SurreyViolinHero]

Too fast. But otherwise perfect.

[jolines112]

Esto es Musica, y es una pieza muy bonita con un significado, que se le da, y se le dio en alguna de las guerras mundiales...
