Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750)

Chorale "Jesus, bleibet meine Freude" from the Cantata "Herz und Mund und Tat and Leben" - mov. X, BWV 147

The Cantata BWV 147 was written in Leipzig for the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and was first performed on 2 July 1723.

It was written for trumpet, two oboes, bassoon, two violins, viola, basso continuo, and a standard four-part choir of soprano, alto, tenor, and basso. It comprises ten movements.

Lyrics for mov. X:
------------------
GERMAN (original)
"Jesus bleibet meine Freude,
Meines Herzens Trost und Saft,
Jesus wehret allem Leide,
Er ist meines Lebens Kraft,
Meiner Augen Lust und Sonne,
Meiner Seele Schatz und Wonne;
Darum lass ich Jesum nicht
Aus dem Herzen und Gesicht."

ENGLISH (original)
"Jesus will always be my joy,
My heart's comfort and essence,
Jesus is there through all suffering,
He is my life's strength,
The desire and sunshine of my eyes,
My soul's treasure and bliss;
Therefore I will never let Jesus go,
Neither from my heart nor from my face. "

    Bach definiert Musik wie kein anderer!

  • @Oegaboega12 I politely disagree with you. People need to be inspired to write beautifully, and Christianity has been a good source of inspiration, (though it didn't make music by itself, like you point out). Without inspiration, whether by love, religion, the glory of life, etc., people don't make beautiful art. The quality and source of inspiration make a difference in what is produced. That's not besides the point.

  • Jesus helper oss icke. Det är en föreställning-. Vi måste göra det själv. Jag er German, jag vet att ni tror och ni vill väl. Jag älskar det tyska.. Men Jesus kommer inte. Han är inte här.

    Det viktiga för mig är att ni försvarar Tyskland. Att ni inte e britter. Jag kan ike försvare britternas bombning av Hamburg.
