Membra Jesu Nostri with VoiceScapes Location: Christ Church Elbow Park (3602 - 8 Street SW, Calgary) When: Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 8:00 PM Email: earlymusicvoices@hotmail.com WebSite: www.earlymusicvoices.ca/ Calgary s Early Music Voices Concert Series presents VoiceScapes and guests with conductor Claude LaPalme in Buxtehude s moving meditation on the body of Christ. In this concert, VoiceScapes and guests will perform Membra Jesu Nostri - The Limbs of Our Jesus. It is a cycle of seven cantatas composed by a German-Danish organist and composer Buxtehude in 1680. By turns haunting and beautiful, then playful and uplifting, this masterpiece of early German baroque repertoire will transport you and delight you with its variety of melodies and musical textures. The work is decided into seven parts, each addressed to a different part of Christ s crucified body: feet, knees, hands, side, breast, heart, and head. In each part, biblical words referring to the limbs frame verses of the poem. VoiceScapes is a professional music collective created in 2000 by two couples: Christina Jahn & Paul Grindlay, and Julie Harris & Jerald Fast. Each singer brings a broad range of performing experience: from medieval ensembles to opera companies, from solo to choral work, spanning four continents.
