Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Cheryl (Sutton) Baker - Bronze:FX. Baroque,Chamber,Classical,Wedding. Score. 6 pages. Bronze:FX #897148. Published by Bronze:FX (A0.1307886).“Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” is an audience pleaser, both in the sacred setting and as secular meditation or wedding music. This setting combines the melody and the popular eighth-note counter-melody together, all in only two octaves of handbells. The effect is simplistic without being simple, and truly joyous when performed flowingly.
The arrangement is for 4, 5, 6, or 7 ringers using two octaves of handbells, and the piece is Level 3 when played with seven ringers. Assignments are included for each quantity of ringers.
This piece may also be performed by four- or six-in-hand ensembles without tables, although it should be noted that there are seven accidental bells required (six of them infrequently).
Performance time:
• 3 minutes, 15 seconds with repeat but without optional DC al Fine
• 6 minutes with repeat and optional DC al Fine.
