Considered by many Pergolesi's greatest work, the Stabat Mater is a setting of a medieval Latin poem about the sorrows of the Virgin Mary at Christ's crucifixion. Scored for soprano, alto, and strings, it is music of transcendent beauty and poignancy. This Italian Baroque masterpiece is reproduced here in an inexpensive, authoritative edition. Text and English translation.
