"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"
Johann Sebastian Bach composed this piece around 1710 as part of a much larger work. It has since become one of the most recognizable melodies in the world. It is in the key of G with a consistent triplet pattern used throughout. Occasionally a non-standard fingering is required and those fingerings are notated with the small numbers above or beside certain notes. Performance tempo should be 40 bpm. Arrangement by Steve Krenz.
