Membra Jesu Nostri
Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:46 pm
Next week the catholic church begins the period of Lent.
I don't know if you know the piece Membra Jesu Nostri from D. Buxtehude (The Limbs of our Jesus).
It's a cycle of seven cantates which describes the different parts of Jesus Christ body hanging on the cross. The lyrics are written by a medieval monk Arnulf of Louvain (my country
) who lived in the 13th century.
I think it's very beatiful and a also to meditate with the thext on Good Friday.
The first piece is Ad Pedes (to the feet)
