Stabat Mater Dolorosa (stä`bät mä`tĕr dō'lōrō`sä) [Lat.,=the sorrowful mother was standing], 13th-century hymn of the Roman Church attributed to Jacopone da Todi. A prayer meditating on the sorrows of the Virgin Mary in her station at the Cross, it was the liturgical sequence for the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin (Sept. 15 and the Friday before Palm Sunday). It is no longer used on the Friday before Palm Sunday and is optional on Sept. 15, but it continues to be sung at nonliturgical Lenten services. It was not admitted as a liturgical sequence until 1727, and musical settings are more numerous after that date. Among composers who have used the text are Josquin Desprez, Palestrina, Pergolesi, Haydn, Schubert, and Rossini. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Instead, the religious background focused on the architecture and use of churches (especially the location and function of paintings), the structure and content of the Mass (especially the taking of communion), ordinary liturgical texts such as the Magnificat, the Gloria, the Sanctus, the Agnus Dei, seasonal liturgical texts such as the Stabat Mater or 0 Sacrum Convivium, and elements of folk tradition preserved in Christmas carols such as Adam lay y bounden, or The Coventry Carol. Adoremus includes many short, easy Gregorian chants in Latin, familiar to traditional Catholics, such as Ave Maria, Panis Angelicus, Stabat Mater and Attende Domine, and most are provided with a singable English translation. Best Choral Performance nominations go to Deutsche Grammophon's live performance of Dvorak: Stabat Mater, also conducted by the late Giuseppe Sinopoli. |
