Jesu Meine Freude, BuxWV 60
Mvt.I: Sonata
Mvt.II: Jesu meine freude
The only score I could find is this low edition in D minor.. What you hear in the video is I believe one full step higher than this, in E minor..
About the work:
Jesu meine is a setting of the verses of a Lutheran chorale. In Jesu meine freude, Buxtehude sets verses 1, 4 and 6 for full forces - two sopranos and bass, two violins, bass and continuo - using the mid-17th century tune in realtively unadorned form. Verses 2, 3 and 5 are solos for each of the three voices in turn, and are not obvious settings of the chorale tune, though soprano line in verse 5 outlines the tune in subtle ways. The work begins with an extended three-movement sonata.
German Text:
Jesu, meine Freude,
Meines Herzens Weide,
Jesu, meine Zier,
Ach wie lang, ach lange
Ist dem Herzen bange
Und verlangt nach dir!
Gottes Lamm, mein Bräutigam,
Außer dir soll mir auf Erden
Nichts sonst Liebers werden.
English Translation:
Jesus, my joy,
pasture of my heart,
Jesus, my adornment
ah how long, how long
is my heart filled with anxiety
and longing for you!
Lamb of God, my bridegroom,
apart from you on the earth
there is nothing dearer to me.

I see lots of people are confused, as usual, by the tuning. There was no "standard" for tuning in the baroque era, however, as a rule of thumb, chamber pitch for secular music was generally about a half note lower than today. Church music, on the other hand, was tuned to the organ, and organs back then were usually noticeably higher in pitch than chamber instruments. They were singing in the right key, it's just that the choir pitch of the organ is a note higher than today.
Das ist unglaublich schön... Ich habe etwas von Buxtehude in einem Konzert in Mailand gehört. Einfach ausgezeichnet.
Si la Iglesia fuera así como lo muestra este video, yo iría todos los domingos.
It's a great idea to represent a performance with the score! Many thanks!
Thank you.
Bach und Buxtehude haben auch einander gehilft! Buxtehude hat in Dänemark gewohnt und der Bach hat ihn dabei besucht :) Gibts doch keine warum nicht die beide hören.
Maybe. Wasn't it originally a secular tune, "Flora, mein Freude"? Or did Crueger write that? However it began, it's a lovely tune, and Buxtehude does fine things with it.
I admire your dedication in preserving the treasure that is music like this! I have very little experience with classical music, but I have the interest and I¨m starting to listen more. I heard a beautiful church concert some years back of Stabat Mater Dolorosa. Now I want to listen to it, but I'm a bit confused. Can you say there's a definitive version? I'm just wondering where to start?
The author of the original tune is Johann Crueger :)

Beautiful. Try some time to listen to the first piece on this CD: "Ich habe Lust ab zu scheiden um bei Christo zu sein".
Вот откуда столько силы у Баха!
+Vsevolod Pushkaryov Amen!
Oh, I must admit that I don't know exactly. In my church song book is written only about Crueger. Usually, if the tune has secular roots, they mention this.
But this is a very interesting question.
I did some research. The TEXT is based on the popular song "Flora, meine Freude," not the tune. Presumably the song had another tune, and the tune for "Jesu, Meine Freude" is reminiscent of other Crueger tunes, though one of his best. So I was mistaken here.
It is only trio I know, which is dedicated to soprano, alto and bass :-D
negative, the G clef is on second line, like F clef and the tune is on 415hz not 440hz.
well, you know i suppose it would be difficult to give good examples. I suppose the only reason i thought that was because when my college choir lost its tenor section, all we played were SAB arrangements. and we had mozart and some people like that.
And from whom did Buxtehude learned his art?
Of course, Buxtehude's E minor would have been a semitone lower than to-day's E minor, as if there weren't enough to make a musician's head spin. Great video, however.
I wouldnt know about Crueger, but we know that if it was one of Luther's Hymns it was secular in origin.
the partiture is different from the sound...How we can see, the tone in sound is 1 tone over...
Yes? For example?
Exactly as I said in the description... The score is in D minor, the recording is in original E minor..
Buxtehude ist sicher nicht schlechter als Bach :-)
Man soll die zwei nie gegeneinander ausspielen!
wow really? i thought all trios of the day were SAB
Hmmm... Bach cribbed a bit from Buxtehude, for example the rests after "nichts... nichts"
o my god bach s jesu meine plagiat LoL
Qualsiasi aggettivo sarebbe inesatto. E' comunque un compositore troppo poco noto in proporzione al suo valore.
