SUMMARY:Membra Jesu nostri : a sung devotion
DESCRIPTION:ANIMA presents a concert in celebration of Pride  \nFriday\, June 7th June 2024 | 7:30 pm | Guelph Civic Museum (52 Norfolk Street\, Guelph) \nTickets available at the door (Pay-What-You-Can) \nMembra Jesu nostri: a sung devotion \nMusic by Dietrich Buxtehude  \nPoetry by Luke Hathaway & Arnulf of Leuven \nfeaturing: \n\nLilly Gutierrez\, soprano \nLesley Bouza\, soprano \nDaniel Cabena\, countertenor \nChris Fischer\, tenor \nPaul Genyk-Berezowsky\, baritone \nJonathan Oldengarm\, harpsichord & organ \nJoëlle Morton\, violone \n& \nThe Cardinal Consort of Viols \nSheila Smyth\, treble viol & violin \nLinda Deshman\, tenor viol \nSara Blake\, bass viol \nValerie Sylvester\, bass viol & violin \n* \nOur Membra Jesu nostri is a queer and trans-y reenactment of the devotional rhythms of this beautiful Medieval hymn\, as set to music by Dietrich Buxtehude in 1680. \n\nA work of spiritual reclamation and erotic celebration\, this work also celebrates the quotidian rhythms of caregiving\, and acknowledges the agony of grief. \n\nThis sung devotion is a coming together of music and texts and of friends old & new. It’s a work of breath and movement and of heartfelt listening.  \nThe gentle conversation of this première performance has been made possible by the Canada Council for the Arts and the kind offices of composer James Rolfe (https://www.jamesrolfe.ca)\, who edited our musical scores. \nA chapbook with new words by Luke Hathaway and an afterword by Daniel Cabena is printed and published by Karen Schindler\, Baseline Press (https://www.baselinepress.ca). \nFor more information: animaearlymusic@gmail.com  \nANIMA (https://www.animaearlymusic.com) a metamorphosing ensemble\, is the gathering-place in art of scholar-singer Daniel Cabena and trans poet/librettist Luke Hathaway. It is a place of queer friendship and sustaining story\, a place where old texts and melodies are animated by spirit and voice. Our work is inspired by Dan’s genderqueer voice and performance history; by early-music sources which suggest new and fabulous possibilities for love and community; and by Luke’s trans-mystical poetry\, in which masculine\, feminine\, and non-binary voices often speak as multiple aspects of a single person. Working together\, we create and commission new works of text and music that are in conversation with early sources and soundworlds. We put these works up on their feet in novel performance contexts (workshops\, teach-ins\, touring programs …). We collaborate with other artists whose worlds of sound and spirit enrich our own.
