J.S. Bach: Jesu bleibet meine Freude arr. Myra Hess played by Anna Buchenhorst, piano
Joy of Man's Desiring is the most common English title of the 10th and last movement of the cantata Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147 ("Heart and Mouth and Deed and Life"), composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1716 and 1723.

A transcription by the English pianist Myra Hess (1890–1965) was published in 1926 for piano solo and in 1934 for piano duet. It is often performed slowly and reverently at wedding ceremonies, as well as during Christian festive seasons like Christmas and Easter, despite the affect[clarification needed] suggested by Bach in his original scoring, for voices with trumpet, oboes, strings, and continuo.
