About this work
Selig ist der Mann organises a dramatic dialogue between Jesus, sung by bass, and the Soul, sung by soprano. The opening bass aria establishes steady speech; the recitative and soprano aria introduce a more anxious response carried by a highly mobile obbligato violin.
The following recitatives draw the characters closer without erasing their roles. Another bass aria brings firmer assurance, then the final duet places both lines in direct relationship. The following chorale finally extends this intimate dialogue to the choir in concise harmonisation.
Both soloists must know their partner’s line and words so recitatives remain genuine exchange. Soprano and violin should agree ornaments and breathing. In the duet, locate imitation before working on balance. The final chorale should enter as a consequence of the dialogue rather than an appendix.
