Tenebrae Music - T01151616670Carlo Gesualdo was a prince, a murderer, and an intensely expressive composer: his madrigals use a chromatic language that is utterly distinctive - even to the modern ear, his work is bizarre and compelling. ETO stages a series of atmospheric concerts of his motets, and in particular his vivid Tenebrae Music, performed by 6 male voices; this music for voices only will be performed with readings from the composer s very intense letters and journals, to make for a compelling entertainment.Music Gesualdo. | |

Membra Jesu Nostri - T01465026497Presented in collaboration with the Royal College of Music. ETO is staging a production of the extraordinary masterpiece Membra Jesu Nostri, a set of seven cantatas for voices (a unique collaboration with gifted young singers and period players from the Royal College of Music) and period orchestra by Bach s great contemporary Buxtehude. Setting a 13th century poem together with visceral texts from the Bible, it focuses on seven parts of the crucified body of Christ - hence the title, ?the limbs of our Jesus . Equally devotional and theatrical, it is one of the most inspiring pieces of music of the 17th century, and its text poses fascinating questions about language, the body and evangelism.Company Buxtehude. | |
