Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring is the English title of the
10th movement of the cantata Herz und Mund und Tat und
Leben (BWV 147) composed during the Bach's Weimar
period.
Hi, I was looking for the sheet music where the trumpet plays the choral part and the piano does the part with all the arpeggios. Does anyone have that?
Thank you for this. Can you comment on the difference (aside from the difference in difficulty - for the trumpeter, in any case!) with this version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohYiYEy1SO8
I would like to find sheet music for this transcription as well!
↪ Ah, I answered my own question! The "other" version is the trumpet taking the choral voice with these lyrics:
Jesu, joy of man's desiring, Holy wisdom, love most bright; Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring Soar to uncreated light. Word of God, our flesh that fashioned, With the fire of life impassioned, Striving still to truth unknown, Soaring, dying round Thy throne. Through the way where hope is guiding, Hark, what peaceful music rings; Where the flock, in Thee confiding, Drink of joy from deathless springs. Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure; Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure. Thou dost ever lead Thine own In the love of joys unknown.?
