Stabat Mater
Album by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi & Kathleen Ferrier & Joan Taylor & The Nottingham Oriana Choir & The Boyd Neel Orchestra & Roy Henderson
Stabat Mater is a sacred choral composition by Italian composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, completed in 1736. Scored for soprano and alto soloists with a small instrumental ensemble, it blends operatic melodic expressiveness and early Classical harmonic clarity within the Neapolitan vocal tradition and is cited in discussions of 18th-century liturgical music for its influence on later sacred settings.
