The famous musical setting of Stabat Mater was written by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi in 1736. Its music is full of pain and sorrows, but also hope and gratitude.
Young ensemble Soli Deo Gloria performed the piece in a series of Lent concerts in April 2019. In this video, we present you the introductory duet Stabat Matet dolorosa as we played it in Rusovce, Slovakia on April 6, 2019.
