I have a recording of Battista Lena with jazz music, on which is a piece called Stabat Mom. I tried to e-mail Mr.Lena as well as the record company (Harmonia Mundi, Label Blue), but neither took the trouble to answer me on the question of what this title means. Is there anyone out there who can tell me why it is called that and if there is a connection to the Stabat Mater?

Do you know any other Stabat Maters that are released on CD, but not mentioned under Composers in my CD-collection? I would be very pleased if you would inform me so that I can add it to my collection and report about it on my Website. You do not have to send me information about releases of Stabat Maters that are already in this list. For instance, there must be some 30 or maybe 40 different releases of the Pergolesi Stabat Mater. In my collection I have  a number of different ones, which are described on the Pergolesi page, but I certainly do not (yet) want to have all existing releases described on this page.
I am interested also in rhyming translations of the Stabat Mater in other languages and in information about the different versions of the Latin text (author, first publication, etc).
If you know of any other composer that composed a Stabat Mater who is not mentioned in the  List of other Composers, (the list containes more than 400 names of composers!) please let me know.

Please send following information:

• Your name
• Your e-mail address
• The name of the composer
• The artists
• CD Label and Number

Of course, your remarks on your Stabat Mater or on this Website will be very welcome. In the future I hope to make it possible for you to directly add your own favourite interpretation of the Stabat Maters that are part of my collection.
