Bach - Jesus bleibet meine Freude from Cantata BWV 147 | Netherlands Bach Society
For the complete cantata ’Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben’ BWV 147 go to:
Bach’s famous chorale ’Jesus bleibet meine Freude’, from cantata ’Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben’, was first heard when the cantata was performed in Leipzig, on 2 July 1723, for the Feast of the Visitation. It was during Bach’s first months as cantor and he reused music that he had to hand, as he often did. Bach had already written most of BWV 147 in 1716, as an advent cantata for the court chapel in Weimar, but it was only in Leipzig that he added the recitatives with instrumental accompaniment and the well-known chorale. So Bach turned a concise cantata (opening chorus, four arias and probably a simple closing chorale) into a big two-part cantata.
