- I played this back in the 70s in an arrangement by Laurindo Almeida in A-major and I thought of making an easier arrangement for many years. The time has come! It is in G and in standard tuning.
Love & Peace,
Per-Olov

This is so amazing! There shouldn't be a dislike button.
I prefer to call it the 'envious' button xD
I think that if they hit the dislike button they should have to give a reason!!
I think they thought dislike was dis I like
I know, it’s a beautiful melody
The dislikes are probably angry atheists 👹
This is why music is the most magical of all the arts. Bach represents the best that humans can do when they are supremely talented, masterfully trained, and diligent. This piece is goodness and mercy in rhythms and pitches. And, of course, no instrument is more personal than a guitar because you cradle it in your arms.
Wow
Today I went into Guitar Center and tested out a few guitars. A while later I went to the acoustic room and tried a classical guitar. I grabbed the guitar and sat down. I played Malagueña on the guitar and at the end a man in the room complimented me and said I was really good. I thanked him and we talked about classical guitar for a while and it was cool. He said that when he was a child he loved classical guitar and one of his favorite pieces was "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring". That's what brought me here, I actually recognize this melody. I've been trying to find this song for so long, and the day has come. Anyways, excellent playing! :D
can you help me with this Bach piece I'm looking for??
it's a very popular one.
ok, if it's in D major, would be like this: bars~> // it's on 4/4 (up = ⬆️ down=⬇️)
A//A⬆️DE F# F# E G F# ⬇️A//G F#DE ⬇️G F# C# D// repeats and
A.... GF#EDEDC#BA..BC#//DEF#EGF#EDF#..E..//.⬇️A ⬆️F# G A D~ //.. B ⬆️ G# A B E~//
etc... this is an ornament ~ up' n down on that note..
I'm sure you've heard this piece.

Humm or sing it, or play it, in the search for song option, and you'll probably find, I know it is sometime really annoying when you are unable to find things on the internet, but try it because I have also found some pieces I knew the melody and not the name,
Guess that would be helpful,
Thanks 😊
In my opinion, this is the most beautiful piece of music ever written.
this piece exudes the joy of emotion, my spirit could not hold back my tears of joy of salvation in Christ. God Save the World
Bach is my favorite composer of Christian music. Praise be to God. Alleluia!!! God Save the World
1685, a great year. Bach, Handel and Scarlatti were born into this world.
Como é maravilhoso ouvir esse clássico de Bach. e como ficou interessante ouvi-lo no violão. Parabéns ao solista.
So many different languages in the comments. Music brings the world together. Music is a universal language
In Brazil it's called "Jesus, alegria dos homens".
This is great, marvellous performance. I always wondered, how did Bach write his music? It has some kind of perfection to it. There are a lot of musicians and composers I like, but Bach, he alwas seem to baffle me with his simplicity and utter perfection, it's like he cracked the code all musicians desperately try to crack, but he did it, and there are no mysteries to him.
+Léon Ruhe Bach was employed by the King/ Emperor and had to compose almost weekly, for various events in public, whether is was in honor of the mayor of the town or to celebrate a celebrity's birthday. He was compelled to be busy, and as a result, he was prolific.
You're absolutely right. I thought I was the only one who thought this. Bach cracked the code, he wrote almost perfect music in my opinion.
Sherlock Holmes Perfect music indeed, but in his time he was somewhat limited by the range of musical instruments. Bach never played on a piano today. Imagine what someone like him could achieve today. It would be a total eargasm.
+Sherlock Holmes I am your fan, hahaha
He actually used a very consistent formula in his music. It's the reason he's the cornerstone of the baroque period and fundamental to music theory. The method is so contrived and useful he made short work of his job of producing new music each week for the church and it allowed him to create a catalog that few can match. There are interesting videos where you can watch a piece get dissected and put together from many of his other pieces. They get arranged based on his rules and viola' new song. He was the cut and paste master of his day. It's funny though, towards the end the musical up and comers used to mock and tease him about how old school his music was. It's interesting how history has a way of sorting out greatness in the end.
I’m walking down the aisle tomorrow to your recording 👰🏻 ⛪️ 🤵🏻♂️. My future husband is a fan and even suggested this arrangement.
Congratulations Cleverly! I wish you and your partner all the best together. I am honored to be there when you say "Yes, I do". :-)

@@Per-Olovkindgren Thank you! 😊
All wishes for future happiness!
-"Jesus is my Joy" Bach

I'm speechless ! How does one comment on perfection ? Bravo sir , well done !
my dad used to play this to me every night before i’d go to bed, you play beautifully!
My mother love this along with joy of mans desiring. I miss her so much.
Happy, sad, or, contemplative...I seek out this piece of music...And, it is always your version I turn to. Thank you.
Thank you too! I am honored that you chose my version.
Kindly,
Per-Olov
Years ago today... J.S.Bach died on 28 July 1750. Best way to remember him is listening this beautiful performans. Thank you Mr. Kindgren. Stay safe and cheers 🥃
Dear friend and Gentleman. I know! And I am surprised you knew this date! Great! I am honored you listen to me.
Cheers to Bach, creativity and talent!!
Per-Olov
His tone is absolutely beautiful! Hope I'll be this good one day.
Beautiful. All praise to God, our creator.
Thank you Per-Olov Kindgren, so truly beautiful.
A slice of heaven and soul
I listen to this when I am so angry and everything is alright. Thanks Maestro
:-) That's good to know. But please don't be angry! :-)
10 years , amazing, I still love it
Bach was always so melodic. In my mind way ahead of his time. Beautifully played . thank you.
Thank you too!
This isn't easy to do, I'm trying to learn it on my guitar! This man has spent many hours practicing to make it seem as if it flows effortlessly. Great work!
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.
This makes me feel like everything will be okay. Thanks
Thank you Aqua. I am sure it will.
Happy 2022.
I agree! The word that most comes to mind for me lately when thinking about Bach’s music is ‘consoling’.
Methinks ol' J.S himself may well have enjoyed this and many other performances from Per Olov Kindgren
I became acquainted with this rendering of “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desire” through a friend in 2016. It is thanks to this friend, and Mr Per-Olov Kindgren, that I took this year my old iron-string (yes) acoustic guitar off its shelf and began studying Mr Kindgren’s fingers- of which the music I never really stopped listening to these past three years-and some tabs here and there, until I reached the point (I think) where I can safely say what follows: that I can now play one of my all-time favorite pieces of music myself.
I am still working on it quite a bit, though. For these lines, these heavenly lines, and chord progressions, and harmonies, they are just so indescribably smart, and sound so miraculous, I underestimated exactly how hard for an amateur musician (how indescribably hard, as now I must say) they could be to play gracefully. I was naïve enough to believe, just by watching you play, sir, that it simply could not be that hard it seemed so perfectly logical (it was logical, all right - it is the "perfect" I am currently having trouble with). But, that is what he was about, isn't it? Seeming simplicity, heavenly sound, and mathematical rigor - and an ensemble so glorious, and right, and good, it is of him I think about whenever I hear or read that which is probably my favorite quote of all time, by Nietzsche, that "without music, life would be a mistake." Well, it follows it isn’t.
Per-Olov (as your signed in the description), your reverence to Bach in the end is my reverence to you.
Thank you, Mr Kindgren!, for inspiring me with such virtuous and passionate dedication.
Thank you, Bach!, for reassuring the faith of us all in the human spirit and the Divine alike-and are they not one and the same?-; and for making your case so eloquently through the ages that there would be beauty, and it would all be worth it.
No matter what instrument(s) this song is played on it's always beautiful
This is no exception
My daughter 6 started her first lesson last week after listening to your music. She listens everyday in the car 💖 hope she continues and get to play the music you play. Thank you for posting
Hi! That sounds awesome! Thank you for telling me! I really hope she will keep playing! Next to love, music is the best!
Give her a hug from me!
Per-Olov
Just as soft and tender as i'm sure Bach intended it to be.
Thank you! I hope so.
I know none of you know this, but this song in particular, was one of the 1st songs I ever heard in my life. I never knew the name, so I looked for it for a while. Then, I came across this talented musician and fell in love with every movement that he does. The precise movement of his eyes, the way his hands shift and the way he feels as he plays. Wow...he deserves to be recognized as an amazing performer!!
This guitar song is the most tenderest I've ever heard. How warm... I'm really comfortable.
This is a really lovely piece played by an obviously skilled and dexterous guitarist. So beautiful!
Thank you so much! Appreciated.
I’ve always had a fondness for church music.
Music gives a soul to the Universe.Wings to the wind..Flight to the Imagination and Life to everything..Plato.
I could listen to Per-Olov Kindgren play Guitar all day long..Thank you
I'm brazilian and I love your videos. Congratulations for the beautiful talent
Took my cap off because it’s so perfect. Absolute inspiration, thanks for the song.
Those gorgeous dynamics! Wonderful, sensitive playing...you have the touch of a true artist. You use the whole orchestra, as Segovia said!
Thank you very much!
So beautiful! I had a guitarist play this song at my wedding so I'm always a sucker for this song played on an acoustic guitar.
Nice he’s still liking comments after 11 years
As a young guitarist, you are such an inspiration to me.
Extraordinaria la obra de Johann Sebastián Bach, "Jesús, la alegría de los hombres", permite elevar la guitarra a otro nivel de calidad. Magnífico
Per-Olov Kindgren is one of the best performers of Bach. I enjoy listening him.
Thank you Karl. I am honored you think so.
Kindly,
Per-Olov
I think you're a really good player, and you have probably worked hard for many years to get to this level. That's why I hate when people say "you got talent" "god gave you ect...". It's almost an insult to all the hard work you have done.
God bless you sir. Amazing. And yes Danke schon Herr J. S. Bach.
No matter when you listen it is a wonderful song.
It is my very favorite song. Thank you.
いつ聞いても素晴らしい曲です。
僕のとても好きな曲です。ありがとう。
It's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard
My favourite composer with wonderful partiture〰💕💞😳
I never bored to listening this music❕😍💕💞
This music always brings a tear to my eye.
Wonderful pacing and superb dynamics, no one has ever quite captured the beauty of this piece like you achieved here sir.
30 minutes into learning this, .. The scope of it just dawned on me, my god this is impossible😭
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for using your God-given gifts to inspire others and glorify His Holy Name!
Thank you so much!
Well Played, Sir. Also, your instrument has a really beautiful tone! Its marvelous and you play it really well. cent per cent!
one of the best cover version of this song.
Thanks Aaron.
Hello, my friend and Professor Per-olov, you're still a great guitarist!Líbero/Rs-Brasil.
Jesus Joy of The Man's, Glory of The God
Lovely. Thank you for playing this. God bless you.
Psalm 138:1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
a moment of beautiful mindfulness
escape with out drugs
I played this piece (a lot slower) to my guitar professor and his eyes lit up as it brought him back to his younger college days. I study Bach on my own as its a challenge though I really love black/death metal, I think Bach is best as theres a lota cool math and variations on themes.
Whenever I wana hear a master play this piece: I go to this video. Hopefully, I can play it that fast soon! Im struggling on a steel string as my nylon is in repair right now. Thanks
Thank you for your story! I hope you'll get your nylon guitar back soon.
Happy playing!
@Per-Olovkindgren you are a supernatural force: guitar got fixed literally the next day. Wow. Now I got no excuse! Thanks again man whatever you're doing: don't stop!
@@Blackout0O0 YAY! That's great news! Yes, no more excuses to play it. :-) And I hope you will enjoy it even if it sometimes is hard and difficult. But in the end, it will always bring you joy and happiness!
To comment your last words: Likewise! 🙂
Happy playing.
Per-Olov
한국에서 감동을 전합니다. 아름다운 바흐의 음악 감사합니다.
Lilly and Marshall when they do their vows outside before the actual wedding. My favorite show (HIMYM).
Thank you so much, Mr. Kindgren. That truly is a heavenly performance.
Muchas gracias!
@@Per-Olovkindgren a+
This is such a beautiful piece, always put your videos on when I need to take a step back and relax
incredible even 10 years later you keep reading the new comments you are a model.
Its so wonderful, your transcription is very good! Thanks a lot for sharing this beautiful music...
Danke für die schöne, gute und klare Darbietung. DANKE ;-)
One of the most beautiful melodies ever composed.
You're truly inspiring, sir. It's been almost ten years that I haven't taken classical guitar seriously as I used to, and I have found inspiration to go back to it and practice it thanks to you.
This is the song I played for my audition into college for classical performance over 20 years ago.
I love your version this was the piece of music that the bridesmaids walked down to at my wedding
Beautiful,one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever played And Or written...
Absolutely divine. !!! The expression, the musicality. The sound. Just beautiful!!!
Thanks so much.
My one time favourite, rejoice rejoice in our Lord God Almighty our Christ Jesus Amen.
Great interpretation by this respective performer . Thank you 🙏🏽
Amen! Glory to God!
Great performance and piece. God, I love J.S.Bach music so much :-).
I can't decide whether "God" is inflammatory here! ;-) At first I thought you were going to thank God for J.S. Bach's music, but on second read, it sounds like you're using the divine appellation for emphasis.
Bravo love and peace to you - i used to play this on my classical guitar! Hallelujah
Mahalo Nui Per-Olov
Very nice to hear this again. I bought your arrangement years ago and play it more often than not when I pick up my classical guitar. I've adapted the repeats to match the original Bach and will be performing it with a talented soprano singing the chorale part later this year! All the best and thank you.
Great to hear!
Mr.Per- Olov,You sir are an absolute master.This rendition of one of the most melodic Bach compositions by you caused me to smile and also be mesmerized at the same time at the sight of your unbelievable command of the instrument.
If anyone actually sees my comment please look at his right hand.During the beginning of the song he plays it very mellow and sweet by placing his right hand as close as possible to the neck but at the same time every note is Crystal clear...
During the middle he intensifies the melody by moving his right hand closer to the bridge and finally finishes the performance by bringing it full circle (back to the neck)...The dynamics left me awestruck
He is a master guitarist at work!
Poetic in its beauty, amazing in it's simplicity. Stirring emotions in one's soul of the pure joy of knowing, one's Salvation through Christ Jesus.
I don't understand why he is not popular. I mean you are great!!
Thank you. And here I thought I was popular... :-) Well, anyways my 220.000 subscribers think so at least. :-)
Per-Olov
Du är oslagbar när det gäller Bach!! 147 med alla stämmor dessutom! Du är grym Per-Olov!
:-) Tack Anders. Glad för att du tycker det!
Trevlig Helg.
@@Per-Olovkindgren Det samma! Allt gott till dig!
Beautiful. This is one of my favorite classical music pieces, especially played on the guitar.
This channel, especially this song has made my work sessions in front of my computer significantly more pleasant.
I love your positioning relative to the sound hole, gives a very rich relaxing sound
Thank you!
So well done. Truly one of the best songs ever wrote.
10 years later....still great!
This fills up my spirit. My mom and I love this song so much, and you performed it so gorgeously. Thank you for the video!
Absolutely amazing , remember when as a youngster I was having piano lessons at a convent & in the next room I heard one of the nuns playing this piece on piano , it absolutely blew me away .
This dude knows his shit
Compliments! The beauty of Bach is the fact of being able to play on any instrument without losing substance. This is because the Bach's music is pure music. Thank you!
I am new to classical guitar and this is one of the first pieces I've worked on. Your playing is an inspiration and I often watch this video to learn from your playing....so pure and sincere...thank you
Awesome, thank you!
I always think that a person's soul speaks through the feeling conveyed in their music - and you must have an incredibly beautiful soul
My favorite piece to perform when I still studied classical guitar. I miss it and watching this amazing performance brings back memories. Thank you!
It gives me so much relief upon hearing this music by Bach
Another favorite of Bach. Thanks again for playing.
Thanks again!
I don't think he looked at his hands even once, that's a man that knows what he's doing perfectly
Ngl your content ages finely like wine
Very good. Bach has touched your heart.
It's the subtleties of his playing that separate from the best. Articulation is key and it shows the difference between pure chops and musicality, he presents the best in musicality. Well done Sir
Breathtaking, this performance made my night. Cheers to ten years!
Wonderful! Thank you for playing.
