	This Prelude is dominated by a motive in the bass which is a modified version of what Schweitzer calls the "Beatific Peace Motive." The composition is filled with an intimate charm and stateliness. From The Liturgical Year, arranged for alternating Oboe and Flute on the melody, English Horn on the alto part, Bassoon on the Tenor, and Bassoon or Contrabassoon for the Bass.
	Story Behind the Song Part of an ongoing series of transcriptions of Bach's Liturgical Year for sampled instruments. Lyrics German: Jesu, meine Freude, Meines Herzens Weide, Jesu, meine Zier, Ach wie lang, ach lange Ist dem Herzen bange, Und verlangt nach dir! Gottes Lam, Mein Bräutigam, Ausser dir soll mir auf Erden Nichts sonst liebers werden. --Johann Frank (1618-1677) English: Jesus, my true pleasure, Of my heart the pasture, Jesus, my delight, Ah how long, how long now Is my heart made anxious As it longs for thee! God's true lamb, my bridegroom thou, More than thee to me on earth now Shall nought be more treasured. --Z. Philip Ambrose, translator
