Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).
For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.
| Composer | Performer | Title | Genre | Label | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dietrich Buxtehude (c. 1637 - 1707) |
The Sixteen, Harry Christophers, cond., -w- The Symphony of Harmony and Invention |
Membra Jesu nostri patientis santissima (trans: Most Holy Members of our Suffering Jesus) |
Classical, Baroque, mid-Baroque, song-cycle for soloist and choir with strings and continuo |
Linn, 2001 |
A set of 7 "cantatas" meditating on the 7 body parts of Jesus - the feet, knees, hands, side, breast, heart, and the face. Buxtehude used a poem written by Arnulf of Louvain (d. 1250), and set them for 5 voices (SSATB) with 2 violins, viola da gamba, and bosso continuo. Given Buxtehude's status as a noted organist, we should not be surprised at the use of the organ for the keyboard continuo. It is called a "cantata cycle", yet the individual pieces and the "cantatas" are all much shorter than what we would eventually see Bach compose. So it becomes more like a song cycle like what we heard from Mahler last week, or from Schubert a few weeks ago. The settings for the voices themselves are exquisite for their clarity. All in all, a lovely piece of music. |
