Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring - Celtic Woman

Performed by Máiréad Nesbitt and Celtic Woman in HD with stunning sound quality.
This is from the 10th movement of the cantata "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben", BWV 147 composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Written during his first year in Leipzig, Germany, this chorale movement is one of Bach's most enduring works.
Contrary to the common assumption, the violinist and composer Johann Schop, not Bach, composed the movement's underlying chorale melody, "Werde munter, mein Gemüthe"; Bach's contribution was to harmonize and orchestrate it. Lyrics follow:
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.

[@NamVet70Mike]

I envision the Madonna and Christ in the humble stable with all the shepherds and wise men all marveling at the new born Prince of Peace. This is the finest example of Bach's cantata.

They should have left it simple. It's most beautiful with just the violin and voice.

[@MIS315]

StereoSpace agree

[@conradinhawaii7856]

StereoSpace : I don't believe that Mr. Bach would agree with you... nor do I.
