At this concert you will also appreciate the interventions of the European Union Choir performing two excerpts from Offenbach operettas and several Opera choirs from Giuseppe Verdi. You will also be enchanted by the talent of Pauline van der Rest, a Young Belgian violinist with already a brilliant honors list.
We all know this band and its trumpeter corps with an impressive history, its unique musical qualities and rightly international fame. Next to its major role at official and military ceremonies, including the National Day pageant, the Guides Band plays numerous concerts in Belgium and abroad, often performing Belgian composers. The Guides Band also frequently accompanies renowned soloists, including prizewinners of the International Queen Elisabeth Music Contest.

30 March 2019  D. BUXTEHUDE  - MEMBRA JESU NOSTRI

3/30/2019

After the enormous success in 2018 of the "Requiem" from Brahms celebrating our 60th Anniversary,
the European Union Choir returns to the basics of European vocal music with a masterpiece of German baroque music  from Dieterich Buxtehude, 

 "Membra Jesu nostri".         
                                                                                                                          
This ensemble of seven "cantatas" (each one has the same cantata concert aria), is the only "vocal cycle"  from Buxtehude. The Seven Wounds of Christ on the Cross, as the  Seven Last Words of Christ from            Haydn, Gounod, Franck or Dubois. The devotion of    the wounds of the suffering Christ is long-standing.       It was first about  six wounds,   then seven in order to recall the ideal symbolic figure.             

Buxtehude proposes here a meditation in seven movements. In one great upward mouvement, the meditation raises itself from the earth towards the sky, up to the sublime face of the pain of man, not without bringing to light the heart of the  Redeemer. Les seven cantatas therefore refer, in turn, to the feet, knees, hands,  side, chest and face.                     
                                                                                                                     
In the first part, you will hear choral pieces on the theme of Haydn's passion, Mendelssohn, Elgar, Bach, Gounod or even Brahms.
