Bach composed “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” in 1723 during his tenure as the Thomaskantor in Leipzig, Germany. It was originally written as a chorale movement for the larger cantata, Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben (Heart and Mouth and Deed and Life), BWV 147. The cantata itself was composed for the Feast of the Visitation of Mary.
