At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, the “early Baroque” period, known as the famous Seicento, introduced a modernity into musical practices that marked the birth of solo singing and opera. However, the great masters did not abandon the polyphony inherited from the Renaissance: on the contrary, they embraced it and revived it with a poetic language of new intensity.

With Membra Jesu nostri, Dietrich Buxtehude delivers one of the only “cycles” in his oeuvre. It consists of seven cantatas evoking the wounds of Christ crucified, drawing on a very ancient tradition of devotion. This meditative score is undoubtedly one of the composer’s masterpieces.
