He wrote the Christmas cantata in Leipzig in 1725 for the Second Day of Christmas, which was celebrated that year as St. Stephen's Day, and first performed it on 26 December 1725. == History and text == Bach wrote the cantata in his third year in Leipzig for the Second Day of Christmas. That year, as every other year in Leipzig, the day was the feast of the martyr St. Stephanus (Stephen).〔 The prescribed readings for the day are from the Acts, the Martyrdom of Stephen (, ), and from the Gospel of Matthew, Jerusalem killing her prophets (). The cantata text was written by Georg Christian Lehms, who drew on all the readings and connected them to more biblical allusions. The first line is taken from , the crown mentioned is in Greek "stephanos".〔 Lehms set the development as a dialogue of "Jesus" and the Soul ("Anima").〔 He intended to use as a closing chorale a verse from Johann Heermann's "ドイツ語:Gott Lob, die Stund ist kommen", but Bach instead chose the 6th verse of Ahasverus Fritsch's "ドイツ語:Hast du denn, Jesus, dein Angesicht gänzlich verborgen", called ''ドイツ語:Seelengespräch mit Christus'' (Talk of the soul with Christ), in order to continue the dialogue.〔 Bach first performed the cantata on 26 December 1725.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Selig ist der Mann, BWV 57」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
