“JESU JOY OF MAN’S DESIRING” by Johann Sebastian Bach. . . . Chord/Melody arrangement by Ukulele Mike Lynch. . . . In the NEW Chord/Melody eBook FOUR
Ive seen numerous arrangements of this classic, iconic composition for the ukulele. They’ve all been primarily in a fingerpicking style. All very fine arrangements but in most arrangements, I’ve found much difficulty in mainly consistent upper fingerboard fingering positions. Therefore, in this arrangement I’ve attempted 2 primary things . . . 1. To keep down lower and in more generally accessible fingerings. 2. To render it in Chord Melody format to remove the challenges presented by fingerpicking. I’m hoping ukulele players will find enjoyment in this arrangement. Note, I also wanted to pay the utmost respect for this revered composition.
Try the short excerpt below
Note in Chord/Melody style no fingerpicking is involved. Only the thumb is used to play the individual notes as well as strumming the chords.Below is an excerpt of the Chorale section.

LET’S GO FLY A KITE by Richard & Robert Sherman
Arranging this song came quite easily for me. I made the decision to only arrange the refrain as I felt that would be most recognizable to most people and once I started the chords and fingerings rapidly revealed themselves. When that happened I knew this would be a very accessible song for lots of players. Below are 2 short clips to try. The first shows the opening measures of the song. The second shows the delightful upward moving chromatic sequence expressing the feeling of flying. A perfect example of the genius of the two Sherman brothers.
