Set for SATB choir and with additional wind parts by Joseph von Eybler, addition of trombones by Ignaz Xaver Ritter von Seyfried, revised by Otto Nicolai (1843)
Pergolesi's last major composition, the Stabat Mater from 1736, became one of the most popular sacred works of the late Baroque-early Classical period immediately after the composer's death. Numerous prints and copies spread this icon of
Italian sacred music throughout Europe. Arrangements were not lacking, for example by J. S. Bach (Tilge, Höchster, meine Sünden
BWV 1083), Johann Adam Hiller and Abbé Vogler. The most popular arrangement was created around 1795 for the Viennese court chapel by Joseph von Eybler, who expanded the two-part upper voice setting of the original to a four-part choir with obbligato solos and added woodwinds to the string section. Ignaz von Seyfried added obbligato trombones to this version in 1830, Otto Nicolai revised it in 1843 and provided it with rich dynamic indications. Of medium difficulty in performance, the Viennese version offers all choirs keen on discovery a repertoire enrichment with
rarity value.
