Programme Note

Dvořák's Stabat Mater is a religious cantata based on the text of Jacopone da Todi’s 13th century poem, which describes Mary's grief at the death of her son. Whilst it comes from a place of great personal tragedy, it expresses tremendous hope and is one of the towering monuments of choral music.
