| Particulars | The composition, an "Oratorio for choir, soloists and orchestra", is divided into twelve parts. It is modern music, but contains fine melodies and a small fugue. In the last part the music refers to Gregorian plain chant. |
| Textual variations | The text used is not the Latin text, but a 19th century Breton translation from a missal used in a Brittany diocese. |
| CD | Kanarien Sant Kantareg CD KSK 005: Stabat Mater |
| About this CD | The CD is probably a private enterprise by the ensemble
itself, though it is for sale. As all texts are in Breton, maybe it is also meant to keep
alive the Breton language. It was recorded in La Chapelle de la Communaute des Ursulines, Morlaix, Brittany, France, in April 1997 |
