Mourning for the son who was killed. Horror at heinous acts committed by human hands. Comfort, confidence and hope for a peaceful future. Death is part of life, but the act of killing must be denounced. In words, but also in music. A silent meditation on the unspeakable and inaudible.
Scarlatti's Stabat Mater is a masterpiece of choral literature. Its large scale, the unique spatial layout, the gripping, dramatic drive and the lyrical grace - all this, combined by a clear stylistic unity and a highly organic arrangement - make it one of the most important architectural musical creations of the first half of the 18th century.
Works by Pärt, Kinzler, Scarlatti and Schütz
