Jesu bleibet meine Freude from Cantata 147. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach’s appointment as the Cantor at Leipzig’s Thomaskirche in 1723 required him to produce a new cantata for every Sunday service. Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring is taken from his Cantata No. 147 and is unusually elaborate, treated more like an aria than a chorale. It is perhaps the best-loved cantata movement from Bach’s entire o…

Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden BWV 230 - Motet for four-part mixed choir.
In Bach’s voluminous output of music the motets form a small group of modest proportions, particularly as compared to the200 or so surviving cantatas. In historical perspective, however, the corpus of motets is especially distinguished, being the only part of Bach’s vocal œuvre whose post-1750 tradition has remained…
