Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben (Heart and mouth and deed and life), BWV 147, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. It was written originally in Weimar in 1716 (BWV 147a) for Advent and expanded in 1723 for the feast of the Visitation in Leipzig, where it was first performed on 2 July 1723. Bach composed the cantata in his first year as Thomaskantor in Leipzig for the Marian feast 'Mariae Heimsuchung' (Visitation). The prescribed readings for the feast day were Isaiah 11:1-5, the prophecy of the Messiah, and from the Gospel of Luke, Luke 1:39-56, Mary's visit to Elizabeth, including her song of praise, the 'Magnificat'.
He used as a base a cantata in six movements composed in Weimar for the fourth Sunday in Advent. As Leipzig observed tempus clausum (time of silence) from Advent II to Advent IV, Bach could not perform the cantata for that occasion and rewrote it for the feast of the Visitation. The original words were suitable for a feast celebrating Mary in general; more specific recitatives were added, the order of the arias changed, and the closing chorale was replaced and repeated on a different verse to expand the cantata to two parts. The words are verses 6 and 16 of the chorale 'Jesu, meiner Seelen Wonne' (1661) by Martin Jahn (de). The music of the chorale movements is now best known for the piano transcription by Dame Myra Hess of Hugh P. Allen's choral version of Bach's arrangement, and is notable under the title Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring which approximately relates to 'Jesus bleibet meine Freude', more closely translated as 'Jesus shall remain my gladness'. Although this cantata was scored for four soloists and a four-part choir, a festive trumpet, two oboes (oboe d'amore, oboe da caccia), two violins, viola and basso continuo including bassoon, I created this arrangement for Viola & Acoustic Piano.
One of Bach's most beloved movements, performed by MuseScore with the Hauptwerk/Sonus Paradisi image of the Walcker Doesburg organ backing up the chorus. The score is as published, but I have not copied or realized the continuo figures. Information about this beloved movement is readily available everywhere. The chorale melody is by Johan Schop.

The setting of the chorale (the four vocal parts) is particularly beautiful, esp. The 6-5 half-tone dissonance at m. I learned the trick of how to lie about the time-signature of the famous violin 1 part from Mike Magatagan. They are all triplets with brackets hidden. There is no way to force the original dotted-eighth/sixteenth groups to act as triplets, so. The notation of violin 2 is inauthentic. Backing up the chorus with the organ is an original idea not reflected in the score; the organ pedal, though, accompanies the whole movement, backing the cello at 16'.
In the MS (not YouTube) performance, the MS organ is used, but hidden. Trumpet w/sop not there yet.
