Description:
Eja, mater, fons amoris (‘O, Mother, fountain of love’) sets an extract from the 13th-century latin poem Stabat Mater, a hymn to the Virgin Mary describing her suffering during her son’s crucifixion. It was commissioned by the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge for a special Passiontide service of music and readings, during the college’s 50th-anniversary year of female admissions.
