The Music
The Stabat Mater is a musical setting of a hymn to the Virgin Mary
that portrays her suffering as a mother during the crucifixion
of her son Jesus Christ.
It is scored for soprano soloist, alto soloist, basso continuo and strings;
and was composed by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi
in the final weeks of his life,
before he died in 1736 at the age of twenty-six.
The Lyric Quartette, meanwhile,
is a work for string quartet, subtitled
by its 20th-century American composer William Grant Still
as "Musical Portraits of Three Friends".
The three movements are as follows:
- The Sentimental One
- The Quiet One
- The Jovial One
