A diferencia del MoonLight Sonata de Bethoveen que publique haces varios dias, esta obra de Bach fue escrita mucho antes del tiempo de Bethoveen (y antes de que existiera el piano) asi que se tocaba con Clavicordio u Organo. Aqui he tratado de hacerlo con esos dos instumentos (vease a continuacion una mejor descripcion de esta obra (en Ingles).

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 by Johann Sebastian Bach. A transcription by the English pianist Myra Hess (1890–1965) was published in 1926 for piano solo and in 1934 for piano duet.[1] The British organist Peter Hurford made his organ transcription for the chorale movement as well. Today, it is often performed at wedding ceremonies slowly and reverently, in defiance of the effect suggested by Bach in his original scoring, for voices with trumpet, oboes, strings, and continuo. Written during his first year in Leipzig, Germany, this chorale movement is one of Bach's most enduring works.

LYRICS (In English and German)

English text

Well for me that I have Jesus,
O how strong I hold to him
ah, therefore I do not leave Jesus,
lest I should break my heart.

Original German lyrics

Wohl mir, daß ich Jesum habe,
o wie feste halt' ich ihn,
daß er mir mein Herze labe,
wenn ich krank und traurig bin.
