Quoting "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by J. S. Bach
Jim Ailor has expertly woven new melodic material with motifs of Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" to create a gorgeous tapestry for Advent and Christmas. A beautiful, unison melody and refrain convey the unique text by hymn writer, Charles Gabriel. After the second refrain, the music opens up into optional 2-part "Glorias" incorporating strains from "Angels We Have Heard on High." The optional oboe part further paints the pastoral scene, highlighting the Bach melody. Stunning!
