Stabat Mater

Album by Arvo Pärt & Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina & John Browne & Taverner Consort & Taverner Choir & Fretwork & Andrew Parrott

Stabat Mater is a choral composition by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, completed in 1985. The work exemplifies Pärt's tintinnabuli technique, using austere, modal diatonic melodies, triadic sonorities and sparse vocal-and-string textures that draw on plainchant and situate it among his significant sacred vocal works of the 1980s.
