"Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring" from Bach's Cantata BWV 147, arranged for fingerstyle Ukulele

"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" is the common English title of a piece derived from the chorale setting of the cantata "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben", BWV 147, composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1723.

A transcription by the pianist Myra Hess, published in 1926 for piano solo is often performed slowly and reverently at wedding ceremonies, as well as during Christian festive seasons like Christmas and Easter.

My Ukulele rendition is based on Hess's version.
