Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring

Johann Sebastian Bach is my favorite composer. I played and memorized many of his inventions and preludes in high school. I didn’t know that one day I would arrange one of his most known melodies that is still performed at weddings around the world almost 300 years after its composition. It is known as “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” This piece is the opening track on the “December Peace” album in tribute to Bach. One of his great quotes is “The aim and final end of all music should be unto the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.”
