Published by jmsgu3 (A0.548642).Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" from Cantata 147 is significant in the history of music for several reasons. It is part of his larger cantata, "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben," and was initially used for the two chorale movements, one of them the finale of a ten-movement liturgical work celebrating the miraculous. The piece is known for its use of "dynamics," a specific notation to indicate instrumentation, and its adaptation for various musical arrangements, such as solo piano and English-language hymnals. The composition is considered one of Bach's most enduring creations and is a principal mainstay of almost all of his works, contributing to the foundations of Western Art Music. The lyrics praise Jesus and mark his outstanding characteristics, reflecting the singer's desire for the Almighty. The piece has become a beloved and enduring part of our shared culture, often heard at weddings, funerals, and holy day celebrations.
