STABAT MATER
Musica Sacra of Sarasota presents Karl Jenkins' 'Stabat Mater' for Alto Solo, Chorus and Orchestra, featuring the Florida debut of Los Angeles alto Sarah Reynolds.
Stabat Mater is a 13th-century Roman Catholic poem attributed to Jacopone da Todi. Its title is an abbreviation of the first line, Stabat Mater dolorosa (the sorrowful mother was standing). This text, one of the most powerful and immediate of medieval poems, meditates on the suffering of Mary, Jesus Christs mother, during his crucifixion.
It has been set to music by many composers, among them Haydn, Dvorák, Vivaldi, Rossini, Pergolesi, Gounod, Penderecki, Poulenc, Szymanowski, Alessandro Scarlatti, Domenico Scarlatti and Verdi.
Like much of Jenkins' earlier work, his 'Stabat Mater' incorporates both Western Music (orchestra and choir)with ethnic instruments and vocals, this time focusing on the Middle East.
