Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
(Chorale from Cantata No.147)
J.S. Bach
Melody by Johann Schop, 1642
Arranged by David Rubinstein
This arrangement presents the melody against a slightly re-harmonized accompaniment. It features polychordal treatment of the melody as well as occasional tuplets in the bass played against Bach's triplets. This creates a slightly Brahmsian feel. The middle section features chromatic lines in the inner voice, adding harmonic interest to the traditional version.
