Description:
While many works long believed to have been written by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736) were later discovered to be falsely attributed, his STABAT MATER, P. 77 is not among them as a manuscript in his hand still exists. Written in 1736 shortly before he succumbed to tuberculosis, he was commissioned to complete the sacred text describing Mary's suffering as she watches her son die on the Cross by confraternity in Naple called the Cavalieri della Vergine dei Dolori di San Luigi al Palazzo, who had also commissioned a STABAT MATER from Alessandro Scarlatti. After Pergolesi's death, his twelve-movement setting became one of his most celebrated sacred works, published more often than any other piece of music in the 18th century. Movements: 1. Stabat Mater dolorosa; 2. Cujus animam gementem; 3. O quam tristis et afflicta; 4. Quæ mœrebat et dolebat - Pro peccatis suæ gentis; 5. Quis est homo qui non fleret; 6. Vidit suum dulcem natum; 7. Eja Mater fons amoris; 8. Fac, ut ardeat cor meum (Fuga); 9. Sancta Mater, istud agas; 10. Fac ut portem Christi mortem; 11. Inflammatus et accensus; 12. Quando corpus morietur - Amen. Instrumentation: Org: Str (2-2-2-1-1 in set): Soli SA: Women's Chorus. Edition by Gustav Schreck with Latin text also translated by Emmy Schreck.
