About the Stabat Mater
| Date: | 1742 |
| Performers: | Soprano, Alto, Tenor, choir and orchestra |
| Length: | 10.39 minutes |
| Particulars: | The Stabat Mater is considered one of the highlights of the later Baroque era in the Catalonia region of Spain. It comprises ten short parts. The orchestral accompaniment is intriguing, as each part features a duet of instruments, including two violins, two horns, two oboes, and two flutes. It is a truly delightful composition. |
| Textual variations: | Probably the "Analecta"-version of the text is used, but only the first ten stanzas are sung, the last stanza ending with "Amen". |
