Krewe de Voix Lenten Concert (March 3) - Krewe de Voix, directed by Paul Weber, presents Dieterich Buxtehude's Membra Jesu Nostri,the rarely-heard cycle of 7 cantatas for 5-voice choir, soloists and strings. With text by the medieval monastic and mystic, Bernard of Clairvaux, each cantata explores the wounds of Christ’s passion with surprising imagery buttressed by the sensual poetry of the Song of Solomon. One of the great sacred works before J. S. Bach, Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri foreshadows the monumental oratorios of the 18th century. Friday, March 3, 2023, 7pm, Christ Church Cathedral,
$15 suggested donation at the door.
