Klingzeug Barockensemble - Memento mori

The phrase memento mori has its origins in classical antiquity, but the injunction to remember one�s own mortality has been a feature of different cultures and religions throughout the ages; just as death is universal, so is our need to adjust to this fact, and to consider our lives with it in mind. The arts are, and have been, an important means in helping us to do so, which is why the laments gathered on this album speak to us all.
