Buxtehude: Membra Jesu Nostri. Album by The SixteenAlbum Description Buxtehudes cantata cycle, Membra Jesu Nostri, is a unique work. Based on texts from a medieval Latin hymn, Salve mundi salutare, the cycle contains seven cantatas each dedicated to a different part of Christs crucified body. The texts are based on the concept of an observer contemplating Christs body on the cross starting with his feet and moving up to his knees, hands, side, breast, heart and finally his head.
