The Way of the Cross with
Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's
Stabat Mater

 

Composed in the final weeks of his life, Pergolesi's Stabat Mater is one of his most celebrated sacred works. The Stabat Mater is a 13th century Christian hymn to Mary, the Mother of Sorrows, as she witnesses the passion and death of her Son, Jesus Christ. The verses of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater will be sung between the 14 Stations of the Cross by the members of Halcyon Voices accompanied by a string ensemble.
