Description:
Composed in 1680, Dietrich Buxtehude's "Membra Jesu Nostri" stands as one of the most profound and moving masterpieces of Baroque sacred music. This seven-part Passion cycle meditates with extraordinary expressive power and spiritual depth upon the limbs of the crucified Christ. This carefully prepared edition from Edition Merseburger contains the instrumental part for viola da gamba and cello. Alongside the vocal soloists (SSATB), five-part mixed choir, strings, and basso continuo, the warm and intimate voice of the viola da gamba creates an atmosphere of timeless, meditative beauty. Presented with bilingual references (Latin/German), this part is an essential resource for historically informed Passiontide performances and passionate Baroque ensembles alike.
