Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri, composedin 1680, forms a cycle of seven cantatasaddressed to different parts of the crucifiedChrist’s body.

Harry Christophers andThe Sixteen have lived with this unique workfor many years, exploring its meditations onthe saviour’s feet, knees, hands, side,breast, heart and face in concert and ondisc.

They are joined by Fretwork for theirlatest interpretation of music that castslight on the nature of suffering, devotion andspiritual transcendence.
