Jesu, meine Freude - Jesu, my heart's treasure BuxWV 60
for soloists (SSB), mixed chorus (SSB), bassoon & strings
Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) was organist of the St Marien church inLübeck from 1668 until his death. He wrote many works for specific secular occasions, feasts and celebrations etc. and although his positon did not require him to compose vocal music he left over 120 vocal works in a widerange of scorings, style and length. Almost all texts are sacred and scorings vary from a single voice with instrument to nine voices with several instruments and continuo.
Dietrich Buxehude’s choralecantata“Jesu, my Heart’s Treasure” is, like many of the Lübeck master’s cantatas, an opulent-sounding work which produces a grand effect with simple musical means. It is a piece whichcan be performed at many occasions in the liturgical domain and contains no noteworthy difficulties.
