About the composer

Nothing is known about who composed this Versetti della Stabat a tre voci maschili. It was probably composed around 1600.

About the Stabat Mater

Date: ca. 1600
Performers:

Two tenors, bass, accompanied by bassoon and clavichord

Length: 2.26 minutes
Particulars:

A very short Stabat Mater of three stanzas, used as an intro for a CD. But, as a reviewer says:
"What an intro: a Stabat Mater fragment for bass and two tenors. The starts are uneven, the tones do not melt. This is passion, grief, expressed by three individuals, by chance singing together. The voices break and change into a sob. This is how drama is created. To be deeply moved, that is what counts. If you can sing, you may forget the lessons of the school of music..."

Textual variations:

Only stanzas 1, 2 en 9 are executed.

In 1997 I created the Ultimate Stabat Mater website for Hans with the program FrontPage. At that time he had around 40 Stabat Mater CDs. His notes on the composer, the music, the texts and translations and the different versions all came online. After this he managed the site by adding new composers and translations regularly. At the time of his death in 2005 he had 211 Stabat Maters. After his death I continued collecting the information and managing the site. I wish to thank the Dutch Stabat Mater Foundation which gave me the financial support in 2014 to renew this site!
