Joyous Holidays! Here's a harp arrangement of one of my favorites. Once again, I have taken the liberty of changing a word in the title. While "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" is the popular English name, the original hymn's title from 1661 was "Jesu, Meiner Seelen Wonne," which translates to "Jesus, Bliss of My Soul." This arrangement is of J.S. Bach's chorale setting from a cantata written in 1723, and it runs about 3 minutes.
