INLEIDING
NEDERLANDS Waarom is dit werk van J. S. Bach zo immens popular?
In elk geval is deze bewerking van Maurice Duruflé van het koraal 'Jesus Joy of Man's Desiring' zo uitmuntend omdat Bach een aansprekend thema prachtig combineert met het koraal.
En in het midden komt een gedeelte voor in mineur waarna Bach een stralend C-akkoord laat volgen.
Vanwege het mineurgedeelte vormt dit dan het hoogtepunt van de compositie. 2:14
Perfect en schitterend gecomponeerd.
Maar ja dat geldt bijna (of helemaal) voor het gehele oeuvre van Bach.

INTRODUCTION
Why is this work by J. S. Bach so immensely popular?
In any case, this arrangement by Maurice Duruflé, of the chorale Jesus Joy of Man's Desiring is so excellent because Bach perfectly combines an appealing theme with the chorale.
And in the middle, there is a part in minor, after which a radiant major part is a continuation. Because of the minor part, this is the highlight of the composition. 2:14
Perfectly composed, but yes that almost (or completely) applies to the entire oeuvre of Bach.
