Dietrich Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri

Following their acclaimed collaboration in 2023, Variant 6 and Filament will again join forces to present Buxtehude’s magnum opus. This hour-long “devotione decantata,” or “sung devotion,” is a cycle of seven cantatas, each an ode to a different part of the crucified Christ’s body. Set to the intensely personal, sensual poetry of the 13th-century ascetic Arnulf von Leeuwen, the music guides the listener through a visceral and transcendent meditation on Christ’s embodied humanity.
