Jesu meine Freude, BWV 713, treats one of the most popular Lutheran hymns, itself adapted from a secular song. The melody is by the seventeenth century Lutheran composer Johannes Cruger and is used here as the substance of a composition of some intricacy. It opens with a section that is fugal, its subject providing a countersubject to the lines of the chorale. This is followed by a second section in 3/8 which treats the later part of the original melody.
