Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring is the usual English title of Jesus,
bleibet meine Freude - the final choral movement of Bach's Cantata No.
147. The piece was made popular in a piano transcription by Myra
Hess. The actual chorale melody is not by Bach, but by Johann Schop. The
wonderful triplet counter-melody is, of course, Bach's creation.
