Celtic Woman - Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring

[@olivergrumitt2601]

My mother’s funeral was held today, December 6, 2023. The service started with this absolutely classical piece of music composed by one of the greatest classical musicians of all time. My mother loved this, and she left this world to the sound of one of the best pieces of music ever composed and performed. What a truly lovely way to say goodbye hearing Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring.

[@rockbottom8502]

My deepest sympathies for you at your mother's passing. What a wonderful thing to have this masterpiece be part of your memories of her.

[@alrosserphotography1293]

I’ve also recently buried my mum and she also chose this song. I’m glad to have been able to make her funeral as she would have wanted

[@JEZIEL539]

Que o nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo na sua infinita misericórdia possa conforta o seu coração ❤🇧🇷

[@daveb3910]

I hope you find comfort in your grief. God bless.

[@David-yw2lv]

May she rest in peace

If this doesn't bring you to tears, you might have lost your soul.

[@ColKurtzknew]

Agree! You may also appreciate TLO's music video adaption of Pachelbel's Canon In D with a small children's choir. Just beautiful.

[@nomasknoway9903]

@@ColKurtzknew Thank you. I'll look for it.

[@newworldsoon2024]

It’s like listening to angels singing their praises for the Messiah.😊

[@angelozgalang9166]

I agree 👍

[@ronnisim]

May be the closest we will get to hearing a choir of Angels on earth!

[@nissalane11]

Amen ! ! very well said.

[@paulgeismar]

Absolutely true!!! Only bad, very bad songs...sad🥺🥺🥺

Yes Yes, Indeed, the blonde is playing the viola, I played the Viola from 1972 to 1980, I only ok, because I would be swept away, by the music, and at times would break down and cry, this piece is Wonderful

I agree

[@olivergrumitt2601]

My mother passed away on Saturday, November 11, Armistice Day. After such a long life - she was 97 years old - I am so glad that Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring was played on a CD player as I sat silently weeping in her room at a care home beside her not long after she had died, and remembering her life and the so many wonderful times I had with her. This was one of her favourite pieces of music and a very, very, appropriate piece of music to remember her, to leave this world to the sound of this heavenly piece of music, one of the greatest that has ever been composed.

[@David-yw2lv]

May she rest in peace

[@MrGreenwald]

The best lineup of the Celtic Women

[@shin-i-chikozima]

This beautiful song is unspeakable and profound and must quench and moisturize my parched soul

[@bruceperkins2921]

Humanity is so capable of such beauty. We truely are blessed beyond measure.

[@loulouassat2204]

Nothing beats Bach and this is absolutely beautiful. Tears every time I listen. Thank you ❤❤

[@AllenJones-w3p]

Actually, Bach didn't write this. Johann Schop wrote it, and Bach arranged it for use in one of his cantatas.

[@wizika]

0:59 isn't that just the purest, most angelic voice you have EVER heard? It moves me so much every time I come back to this...

[@WFDAJ]

I used to watch this over and over when I was a little girl. It’s one of the reasons why I went into music throughout all my school years. Love seeing it on here and recapturing the fascination I had with all these beautiful voices- especially Chloe’s!

[@emanueledelferraro4979]

Some of the best Celtic woman songs are not on Spotify. This is one of them

[@shin-i-chikozima]

My emotional depth of her song is immeasurable, and deeper than the Ocean

[@Lillipchen]

Wundervoll. Himmel auf Erden. Heiliger, engelsgleicher Gesang. Ich bin zu tiefst berührt und hoffe, diese imposante Gesangszusammenstellung bleibt noch lange erhalten.

[@reenajosey89]

Years and years before my mother passed, she requested i played this song during her funeral. Somehow, in 2018, I remembered. It was a beautiful service. Now I can't listen to this song without balling my eyes out.

[@darm1959]

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️🙏

[@anthonyvivianlanius1295]

One of my favorite pieces of music done by one of my favorite groups! Blessings!

[@agboolaogooluwa6406]

This is a stupendous flaunt of angelic voice!! Just wow!!

[@dhom100]

Meave and Orla were perfect as always. and smoothness of Chloe's voice is like supernatural.

[@mohamedabdulhaq3589]

Truly heavenly voices... What a performance!!

[@andrzej3511]

I was delighted with this performance!!! Even Máiréad Nesbitt, known for her extraordinary temperament, has managed to blend in perfectly with the sublime character of this Bach masterpiece. A small "modernization of the arrangement" strengthened the mood. I am not surprised by the ovation in the audience. I also applaud!!!

[@olivergrumitt2601]

As I have commented before, when we leave this Earth we should leave it to the sound of this heavenly, wonderful, glorious and moving music, certainly one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed or ever will be composed.

[@jr6200]

Yes

[@enigma2255]

Bach is a genius

[@rorsine]

That last not from Méav was not even possible for mere mortals... Amazing!

[@yanyanVloqs]

This song was introduced to us in Music Class when we are having a discussion about Johann Bach, and ever since this has made a special place in my heart.

[@kathleenaugeri8086]

Beautiful beautiful; but at 2:44 a moment of absolute sublime beauty occurs as their heavenly voices join in perfection

[@jaimymetts]

Am I the only one that feels like crying when they listen to this!

[@cosmofoxgaming1268]

Incredible! Tears of joy are flowing.

[@dhom100]

Meave and Orla were perfect as always. and smoothness of Chloe's voice is like supernatural. Mairead was perfect too.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Her wonderful song embodies the musical aesthetics of Bach I feel like I am in Heaven to spread infinitely

[@riquet1949]

Very, very beautiful and moving, a joy to hear such beautiful voice thanks for sharing Regards from France

[@Wargod1395]

whats with the five dislikes??? these Irish Angels are Blessed by god Himself, very talented and they even look like angels... with voices that could bring world peace.

[@PersephoneSkye_]

Stop paying attention to dislikes. You'll never know. Pay attention to positives. I love this and I scream death metal on the flip side. Trying to analyze why people do things is a waste of brainpower

[@chefethanguo9701]

Very few pieces get the "rip your friggen soul out" award This one rates in the top 5 I don't give this award lightly and there are very few that can achieve it. A pure modern work of art in this form

0:50 Oh, so Meav DOES breathe in between her awesome singing. Funny, they left me breathless with awesomeness, and she's actually part of it. Strong lungs. :-)

My grandfathers funeral song... 6 years ago today.

[@Oxmanjeff]

I know some of you have already said this, but they sound so angelic and pure. This is the best performance of “Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring” I have ever heard. Especially the harmony that happens around 2:19. That gave me goosebumps it was so good. ❤
