Dietrich
Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri During this 300th anniversary year
of the death of Dietrich Buxtehude, BEMF presents a
special performance of his Membra Jesu Nostri with
a spectacular lineup of North American singers and
instrumentalists. A stunning cycle of seven cantatas
based on a 13th-century poem by Arnulf of Louvain,
each movement of this touching work is addressed
to a different part of Christ’s crucified body:
feet, knees, hands, side, chest, heart, and head.
“[Les
Voix Humaines] have achieved the “art
of courtly conversation” so highly prized
in the 17th and 18th centuries: they play in
perfect symbiosis, their bass viols goading,
echoing and responding to each other like twin
instruments.” — ResMusica
