Orchestra, String Orchestra - Level 1 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1823375
Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by David Burndrett. This edition: pdf. Baroque, Christian, Praise & Worship. 8 pages. David Burndrett #1383368. Published by David Burndrett (A0.1823375).
This accessible string orchestra arrangement of Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring by J.S. Bach is designed for developing ensembles at approximately Grade 2–3 standard and above. The familiar and beloved chorale melody is shared across the ensemble, with the first violins taking the principal theme and cellos and basses joining in melody statements to promote ensemble confidence and musical engagement.
The writing ensures comfortable ranges and clear phrasing, making it ideal for school orchestras, youth ensembles, community groups, and adult amateur players. To increase flexibility for ensembles with limited violists, the third violin part doubles the viola line, allowing performance even when viola players are unavailable.
Perfect for concerts, services, seasonal programmes, and educational settings, this arrangement highlights lyrical ensemble tone, balanced voicing, and accessible contrapuntal texture that retains the charm of Bach’s original chorale material while supporting developing players.
