Johann Sebastian Bach made a lot of great music. This one is derived from a chorale setting of the Cantata. Bach BWV 147. It is often performed slowly at weddingceremonies.
Nevertheless, after lisening to orchestra/choir performances which had a fast tempo, I chose my own tempo (slower than the choir). At least I try to get it flow beautifully…
When life throws us with difficult challenges, then I can listen to this wonderful music. Bach Magic!
Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring is often played at Christmas but can be listened to at any time of the year.
