From a 1970s LP (and added to by a few other short works), we have a creepy depiction of the flailing of a human body, as reinterpreted through the life of Christ.
The "Vesalii Icones" are a series of depictions of a stripped-down human body by Andreas Wessels in the 1500s.

You can read more about the music, and the artist who inspired it, here.
Here is the Discogs page, including sleeve & disc images from the LP.
It's Track 14 that deliciously chills me the most, the concept that at the Resurrection, out pops ... the Anti-Christ! (You've GOT to have a sense of humor here.)
Chill yourself. Or, alternately.
