This overture is the opening of the 146th Church Cantata. It is scored for full string orchestra with organ obbligato and is the original form of the first movement of the later and better known Piano Concerto in Dminor. In its early form this work lends itself more readily to a modern piano adaptation than in the later Concerto form.Wir müssen durch viel trübsal in das reich Gottes eingehen.

The opening of this three-movement work features an initial appearance of the thematic material that returns in various guises later on in the work. The leitmotiv centres on a minor second. A range of thematic variations is heard in the lively and energetic Metamorphosis One. This movement is interrupted by an atmospheric meno mosso, containing melodic passages that return to the opening theme.Metamorhosis Two is characterised by various changes in tempo and musical character. Seven different soloists transform the thematic material each in their own way. This eventually culminates in a passionate tutti passage.The source of inspiration for Metamorphosis Three is the so-called BACH-motif, a musical autograph consisting of the notes B flat, A, C and B. This distinctive motif arises from the leitmotiv (here a descending minor second), which continuesto evolve through various transpositions and transformations. For the composer, this spectacular last movement is an homage to one of the greatest and most influential composers in the history of music: Johann Sebastian Bach.An impressive contest piece commissioned by Brass Band Schoonhoven, performed at the 2014 European Brass Band Championships.
In de opening van deze driedelige compositie wordt het thematische materiaal gepresenteerd dat verderop in het werk in allerlei transformaties voorkomt. De ‘kleine secunde’ dient daarbij als leidmotief. In het levendige en flitsende Metamorphosis One wordt volop gevarieerd met de thematiek. Het deel wordt onderbroken door een sfeervol meno mosso met daarin melodische passages die teruggrijpen op het beginthema.In Metamorhosis Two treden veel veranderingen op in het tempo en het muzikale karakter. Zeven verschillende solisten transformeren ieder op hun eigen wijze het thematische materiaal. Uiteindelijk resulteert dat in een gepassioneerd, tuttigespeeld gedeelte.De inspiratiebron voor Metamorphosis Three is het zogenaamde BACH-motief, een muzikale handtekening met de noten Bes, A, C en B. Dit karakteristieke motief ontstaat vanuit het leidmotief (in dit geval een dalende kleine secunde) en verandert voortdurend van gedaante door allerlei transposities en omvormingen. De componist beschouwt dit spectaculaire laatste deel als een eerbetoon aan een van de grootste en invloedrijkste componisten uit de geschiedenis van de muziek: Johann SebastianBach.In der Eröffnung dieses dreisätzigen Werkes wird zum ersten Mal das thematische Material präsentiert, das im weiteren Verlauf in diversen Gewändern wiederkehrt. Kern des Leitmotivs ist eine kleine Sekunde.Eine Reihe von thematischen Variationen ist in der lebhaften und energiereichen Metamorphosis One zu hören. Der Satz wird von einem stimmungsvollen Meno mosso aus melodischen Passagen, die zum Eröffnungsthema zurückführen, unterbrochen.Metamorphosis Two ist von mehreren Wechseln im Tempo und im musikalischen Charakter geprägt. Sieben verschiedene Solisten verwandeln das thematische Material jedes auf seine eigene Weise. Das Ganze steigert sich schließlich zu einemfulminanten Tutti.Quelle der Inspiration für Metamorphosis Three ist das so genannte BACH-Motiv, eine musikalische Signatur aus den Tönen B, A, C und H. Dieses ausgeprägte Motiv geht aus dem Leitmotiv hervor (hier ist es eine absteigende kleine Sekunde),welches fortwährend durch verschiedene Transpositionen und Transformationen weiterentwickelt wird. Für den Komponisten ist dieser spektakuläre letzte Satz eine Hommage an einen der größten und einflussreichsten Komponisten der Musikgeschichte: JohannSebastian Bach.Le titre Metamorphosis décrit une transformation musicale – autrement dit, le processus qui commence avec nos origines (Initium), puis progresse à travers l’évolution du corps et de l’ me (Corpus, Animus) et enfin, gr ceà l’expérience de la vie (Virtus, Invidia), se développe en une personnalité adulte (Estasi).Les musiciens connaîtront des états d’esprit changeants, entretenant la conscience de ce qui a été et de ce qui sera (le présent et l’avenir) tout en jouant. Les passages d’improvisation ont été délibérément laissés vierges –sans notation – afin de permettre à l’instrumentiste d’évoluer sans contraintes dans ce style musical et de laisser libre cours à son imagination.

Essentially the same as Hall’s arrangement of Jesu in D-flat major, this minor-key version is strikingly expressive and original, which is extremely mesmerizing to performers and listeners. Ideal for the teaching studio and concert hall for all grades from the intermediate through concert level. Piano Published by: BachScholar.

BachScholar Edition Vol. 48 – Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring (4 pages) presents a rich, romantic-style concert arrangement of Bach’s famous chorale setting from Cantata No. 147. The most well-known piano version, by Myra Hess, is a literal transcription from the cantata, which not only presents several awkward and difficult technical challenges, but can easily sound dry and technical on the modern piano. Hall’s arrangement is refreshingly different and original and less difficult to play than Hess’ version, making it more accessible to pianists and listeners. Hall transcribes Jesu to the lush, romantic key of D-flat major, which results in a deeper sound (a tri-tone lower than the original G major) and is easier to play and has more idiomatic fingerings due to the use of all five black keys. Hall’s arrangement is ideal for the teaching studio and concert hall for all grades from the intermediate through concert level. Piano Published by: BachScholar.
