Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring

[Bruce Breen]

Here is an audio recording of Bach's Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring (not from a midi file - so you may hear a couple of 'mistakes' - I know where they are but I'm not telling!).
This amazing piece was written by him in 1723 - that's 298 years ago!
I used my keyboard's GreenFantasia style - very appropriate I think.

Hi Bruce

That is a great piece of music, and very well played.

Like most of Bach's music, not easy to play.  Well done

Derek

Thanks for your kind words, Jon & Derek!

I especially like the changes in the left hand accompaniment throughout the piece.

Yes, the GreenFantasia style really does this song well...
It is interesting to note that Bach's composition is in 3/4 yet GreenFantasia is 4/4...!
(Which means that for every 3 bars of the 4/4 style, I play 4 bars of the 3/4 song.)
Surprisingly, you really can't notice it with this song...
