About the Stabat Mater

The Stabat Mater is popularly thought to have been written by the 15th century Franciscan friar, Jacopone da Todi, although it is also ascribed to the 12th century Innocent III and may even have been written as early as the 7th century by St Gregory the Great.  In any event, it was extremely well-known throughout Europe by the 15th Century.  More than 400 composers, from Josquin des Prés to Stanford, have set it to music, attracted by its epic and lyric character.

xxx TEXT
Traditional English version
Stabat Mater dolorosa
Juxta Crucem lacrimosa
Dum pendebat Filius. 
Stood the sorrowful Mother beside the cross weeping, where hung her Son
At the cross, her station keeping, 
Stood the mournful Mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last.
Cujus animam gementem
Contristatam et dolentem
Pertransivit gladius. 
Through whose soul weeping, compassionate and grieving, passed a sword.
Through her heart, His sorrow sharing,
All His bitter anguish bearing, 
Now at length the sword had pass'd.
O quam tristis et afflicta 
Fuit illa benedicta 
Mater Unigeniti ! 
O how sad and afflicted was that blessed Mother of the Only-begotten! 
Oh, how sad and sore distress'd
Was that Mother highly blest 
Of the sole-begotten One !
Quem moerebat et dolebat 
Et tremebat dum videbat
Nati poenas incliti. 
Who mourned and grieved and trembled when she saw the torment of her glorious child.
Christ above in torment hangs.
She beneath beholds the pangs 
Of her dying glorious Son.
Quis est homo qui non fleret 
Matrem Christi si videret 
In tanto supplicio? 
Who is the person who would not weep the Mother of Christ seeing, in such agony?
Is there one who would not weep,
Whelm'd in miseries so deep
Christ's dear Mother to behold ?
Quis non posset contristari
Christi Matrem contemplari
Dolentem cum Filio?
Who could not grieve with the Mother of Christ, seeing her suffering with her Son? 
Can the human heart refrain 
From partaking in her pain,
In that Mother's pain untold?
Pro peccatis suae gentis
Vidit Jesum in tormentis
Et flagellis subditum. 
For the sins of his people she saw Jesus in torment and to the scourge subjected.
Bruis'd, derided, curs'd, defil'd
She beheld her tender child
All with bloody scourges rent.
Vidit suum dulcem natum
Moriendo desolatum
Dum emisit spiritum.
She saw her sweet child dying abandoned as He gave up His spirit.
For the sins of His own nation
Saw Him hang in desolation
Till His spirit forth He sent.
Eia Mater, fons amoris, 
Me sentire vim doloris 
Fac, ut tecum lugeam. 
Oh Mother, fountain of love, make me feel the power of sorrow, make it that I may grieve with you.
O thou Mother! fount of love! 
Touch my spirit from above.
Make my heart with thine accord.
Fac, ut ardeat cor meum 
In amando Christum Deum, 
Ut sibi complaceam. 
Make that burns my heart burn in loving Christ God, that Him I may please.
Make me feel as thou hast felt.
Make my soul to glow and melt
With the love of Christ our Lord.
Sancta Mater, istud agas, 
Crucifixi fige plagas
Cordi meo valide
Holy Mother, do this: of the Crucified one fix the wounds in my heart securely
Holy Mother! pierce me through.
In my heart each wound renew
Of my Saviour crucified.
Tui nati vulnerati 
Tam dignati pro me pati 
Poenas rnecum divide. 
Of your wounded child, who thus deigned for me to suffer, the pain may I share.
Let me share with thee His painxx
Who for all my sins was slain, 
Who for me in torments died.
Fac me vere tecum flere 
Crucifixo condolere
Donec ego vixero. 
Make me truly with you weep, with the Crucified sorrow, as long as I live.
Let me mingle tears with thee, 
Mourning Him who mourn'd for me
All the days that I may live.
Juxta Crucem tecum stare
Et me tibi sociare 
In planctu desidero. 
Beside the Cross with you to stand and you accompany in your weeping, I desire.
By the cross with thee to stay, 
There with thee to weep and pray
Is all I ask of thee to give.
Virgo virginum praeclara
Mihi jam non sis amara:
Fac me tecum plangere. 
Virgin of virgins chosen, with me be not bitter; make it that I with you weep.
Virgin of all virgins best
Listen to my fond request
Let me share thy grief divine.
Fac, ut portem Christi mortem
Passionis fac consortem
Et plagas recolere. 
Let me I carry Christ's death and suffering, share his Passion, and His wounds remember.
Let me, to my latest breath
In my body bear the death
Of that dying Son of thine.
Fac me plagis vulnerari
Cruce hac inebriari
Ob cruore Filii. 
Let me be wounded with his wounds, inebriated by this Cross, because of the love of the Son. 
Wounded with His every wound, 
Steep my soul till it hath swoon'd 
In His very blood away.
Inflammatus et accensus
Per te, Virgo, sim defensus
In die judicii. 
Inflamed and afire, by you, Virgin, let me defended by you, Virgin, on the day of judgement.
Be to me, O Virgin, nigh
Lest in flames I burn and die
In His awful Judgment day.
Fac me cruce custodiri
Morte Christi praemuniri
Confoveri gratia.
Let me be guarded by the Cross, by Christ's death armed, and cherished by His grace.
May the Cross forever guard me,
May the death of Christ protect me 
Ever cherished by His grace.
Quando corpus morietur
Fac ut animae donetur
Paradisi gloria. 
When the body dies, grant that to my soul is given the glory of paradise.
While my body here decays 
May my soul Thy goodness praise
Safe in Paradise with Thee.
Amen.  Amen.
Amen.

I am thrilled not only to have been able to see/hear this performance but, *not*least*, to discover a website philosophy (here) that values human appreciation (consciousness-of) *ABOVE* security-rigamarole and dollars-made-in-the-process. I wish more people could be so encouraged, and at a far earlier stage in their web-experience than mine (=year 13). Thank you.

Andreas,
Èper me la miglior voce contemporaneache interpreta produzioni specie del periodo barocco che io adoro e considero il più ricco ed espressivo per tutto ciò che lo riguarda. Grazie a Rosano (italiano!) che gli aggiunge il valore che nel mio paese non gli è riconosciuto. Amo la voce del controtenore che in Italia non è apprezzata forse perchè si è assorbiti dall'ascolto di altri registri e artisti che io getterei in pattumiera. Soffro perchè Andreas non canta nei teatri Italiani però io lo cerco dappertutto perchè la sua voce mi salva l'anima e ravviva in me l'amore per la musica barocca che io considero il migliore antidepressivo attuale perchè va dritta al cuore e mi consente di vivere la mia quotidianità elevandola.Non posso esprimere in modi migliori ciò che sento.

18 July 2008

The sensitivity with which Mr Rosano has set this text, and the exceptional delivery by all of the musicians, including the hauntingly crystalline Mr Scholl, makes one wonder why more modern composers do not attempt to bridge the stylistic demands of the Baroque with modern musical accomplishments. In addition to the recording of such a fine work, I know I am not alone in wondering when the score itself will become available for others of us to attempt to recreate this beeautiful music!

One of the most beautiful passages of music I have ever heard -- both in terms of the composition and the singing. My husband and I saw and heard Mr. Scholl in Rodelinda at the Met in May, and were overwhelmed by the beauty of his voice. We would very much like to know when this music is recorded. Sincerely, KL

21 May 2005

I think this is brilliant. I'm not a musician and have very little technical and musicological knowledge, but responded to this as if it were a religious experience - and encounter with the Transcendent. It is poignant and is a piece of music that demands full silent attention and creates a well of stillness within the listener. Please let me know when I can buy it.

56

Excellent expression - I enjoy how the voice moves with the music accompanying it.  Why
* simply this section of the poem and not the happy ending that goes with the sadness of its beginnings?  My favorite part is that "unigeniti" is repeated - adds that extra emphasis. Well done.

44

Marco Rosano's new Stabat Mater is a piece that, judging from the O Quam Tristis, is one of delicacy, beauty and profound melody in the baroque tradition. Can't wait for the complete piece to be released on CD!

Duncan Horn, United Kingdom

30 May 2004

Haunting, beautiful, magnificent, words cannot do justice to the sound. Andreas' voice soars over the notes, growing, fading, tearing at the heart. The strings accompany him as a joined body, they are as one. Composer and artists are to be congratulated on a wonderful work. The music opens doors of thought and contemplation, perfect for the end of the day. The disappearance of the voice is like the disappearance of the light, darkness, nothingness is left, only the shadows and memories as the music echoes inside the head.

Paul Schaefer, United States


15 March 2004

The Stabat Mater setting by Marco Rosano is gorgeous music, gorgeously performed.  I just came back from a performance of music for unaccompanied chorus by 20th century Philadelphia composers, much of it sacred. The choral ensemble is called Schola Nova, and it superbly conducted by Dr. Tim McDonnell. Harold Boatrite's pieces were the clear high point for me, though all of the works were exquisite. The musical performance was stunning. This composition by Marco Rosano is exquisite, as well. Rosano harkens back to Vivaldi's style, and in places recaptures the magic of Vivaldi's melody in his own Stabat Mater -- but he does this in a very interesting way, with fully independent part-writing, and beautiful melodies. Vivaldi is not imitated. His musical spirit is evoked, and a dialogue between Rosano and Vivaldi ensues. And Andreas Scholl interprets it with incredible mastery. One cannot speak of his voice alone, whose pure tonal quality reminds me of finely burnished cherry wood. One must speak of his musical intelligence as well, because it shines through in every choice he makes in phrasing and expressivity.  I look forward to hearing it performed with acoustic instruments, as well as to hearing the rest of the composition. The recording presented here suffers only somewhat because the the expressivity of synthesized strings is limited, though I must admit, these synthesized strings sound good.

From the first note, this piece possesses me, haunts me even.  I find it very intense and because of this I have to listen to it intensely. Everything stops – I don’t want to move – I am pinned to my chair. The phone would be ignored if it rang during this.  I am not Christened and have no religion in my life, although this is something I am beginning to explore and become more open to.  So I come at this not from a religious point of view but as a woman and as a mother.  The combination of this text, this music and the voice of Andreas Scholl cuts right into the very heart of me.  I feel and I see the agony.  I’m often moved to tears by it.  Such powerful, emotional writing. Thank you.

Music of Stabat Mater is easy to foresee (my computer is "slowthinking" so the music interrupted very often and I had to guess which note will be next) but its very beautiful. I mean: I had hard weekend but now I see it wasn't so bad. That is what I want to hear in music!

We are very honoured to have this chance to listen to music created as a vehicle for Andreas. We often struggle to find words to describe the special qualities of his voice. Here you have a musical expression and appreciation of the beauty and purity of his voice, his control and subtlety of phrasing. It has a peaceful, almost hypnotic appeal. I also was reminded of Cum dederit and of the Taizé chants. Heartbreakingly beautiful in its simplicity.  With many thanks and best wishes for the success of your project.

I have listened to new Stabat Mater many times and my first impression is just beautiful ! and not only beautiful but also ...  I do not understand how I may express this sense in English :-(   Anyway I can't wait to hear the rest of the new Stabat Mater. Thank you, Mr Rosano and Mr Scholl.

Peter, Canada


7 November 2002

I think Mr Rosano has done a fine job of setting the words and I would love to hear the rest of the work. It evokes the same feelings in me as when I listen to the same work by Vivaldi, although I am sure that the final version will probably be quite different. Have you any idea how long the the entire composition is and how one would get a copy of the score?  I would like to perform it.

Bernadette Kazuko, Japan


7 November 2002

Thank you very much for a very wonderful present for today. I hear new Stabat Mater many times very beautifully. We wish to express our gratitude to Mr Marco Rosano who composes for the voice of Andreas.

Edward Verhaeghe, Belgium

November 2002

I listened carefully to your demo and composition, and here are my two cents, just because you requested feedback. I love the minimalistic beginning... just Andreas and one instrument... I think this approach is the strong point of the song... the more instruments you add, the more accessible it is going to sound, but maybe the less 'authentic' and intimate.  The beginning of the song reminds me of Albinoni's adagio g-moll of course. VERY NICE, and the vocals are incredibly strong and sincere.  All in all a very nice surprise.  Thanks so much and please keep us posted !

6



Nadine Fäller, Germany 


7 November 2002

Oh, such a lovely surprise finding THAT after arriving back from a trip with the choir. Thank you very much for thinking of us, Marco (and Andreas) !  :-)   My first impression: Oh yes, I DO like it!  I've listened to it several times now.  Perfect adaptation to Andreas' strengths! Very nice, soft, elegiac sounds... how I love such!  It reminds a bit of Albinoni - mixed up with Cum dederit maybe ;-) ...  and in terms of the intimate mood in the beginning... it's just giving me goose-bumps!  A great pendant to the Stabat Mater I've recently "had to" listen to, in the conservatory: most of the pieces sung in C-D-E chords - something that I can do without very easily! 

5



Sue Loder, England


7 November 2002

How wonderful to hear new music being composed for Andreas; this is how so much great music came into being in the past - written for particular gifted singers and it's such a shame that this great tradition isn't carried on so much these days.   So thank you to Marco Rosano,  and I wish you the best of luck in the development of project.  Certainly very accessible and immediately attractive to the ear and plays to Andreas' great strengths.  It sounds promising and I have to say that it was so good to hear Andreas sing something new!!   Good luck to all involved.
