Stabat Mater
Album by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi & Jennifer Driscoll-Holmes & Carolyn Maia & Orchestra Seattle & George Shangrow
Stabat Mater is a sacred composition by Italian composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, composed in 1736. Scored for soprano and alto voices with a string ensemble and continuo, it exemplifies late Baroque vocal writing with lyrical melodies, expressive harmonies and alternating solo and ensemble textures, and it occupies an important place in Pergolesi's output and in the development of 18th-century sacred vocal music.
