CONCERT PARAPHRASE
on
Johann Sebastian Bach's
JESUS BLEIBET MEINE FREUDE

(Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring)
from the Cantata
Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147

for piano solo
Windsor Editions
In the spring of 2014, the Italian concert pianist, Alessandro Tenaglia

commissioned the composer for a concert transcription of Bachs
Jesus bleibet meine Freude (Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring). Keeping
in mind that this specific Bach chorale has a deep, spiritual significance
for the pianist; Manookians aim was to respect the religious intent of
the work as well as create a virtuoso concert paraphrase.
Alessandro Tenaglia spoke of the work: This piece is something special
for me. I love its harmonies and the way it takes the listener and player
in a complete circle from the charming to the sinister. What was wild
transforms itself into magic like a wizards spell. There are hints of Liszt,
without its rhetorical effects, and elements of many styles forming a
strong dramaturgical stream of consciousness. The harmonies and
interconnected rhythms, for me, are the most impressive arguments
for its originality. The composition is very masculine as a literary drama
unfolds in its presentation.
Alessandro Tenaglia premiered this concert paraphrase on April 19, 2015
in Bolzona, Italyat the Chiesa Evangelica Luterana.
