Music for Passiontide - Stabat Mater


Stabat Mater - Solemn Tone
 
 
I think this speaks for itself ....
 
 
....Mater Dolorosa, Ora pro nobis.

  1. Have you heard Felice Anerio's Stabat Mater for twelve voices? It's a beautiful piece and an example of the Counter Reformation tendency to use massive vocal (and instrumental) power to impress an audience/congregation.

    1. Patrick,
      Thanks for the recommendation I have just found a recording online http://www.we7.com/listen/National-Youth-Choir-of-Great-Britain/Stabat-Mater/radio?song=1840637#/listen/National-Youth-Choir-of-Great-Britain/Stabat-Mater/radio%3Fsong%3D1840637

      Anerio's Christus Factus Est is also worth a listen - several versions on Youtube.
