Camillo de Nardis

About the composer

Camillo de Nardis (1857 – 1951) was born in Orsogna, Italy. He studied at the Conservatory of Naples, where he gained his diploma of composition in 1879. He stayed at the Conservatory to become first a teacher and later vice-director. Camillo de Nardis wrote mostly instrumental works with a contrapuntal approach and in line with this his Stabat Maters, based on the works of Pergolesi and Traetta are also instrumental.

About the Stabat Mater

Date: ca. 1875
Performers:

String Quartet and double bass

Length: 11.10 minutes
Particulars:

The CD-insert describes this Preludio Religioso a solo quartetto a corda sopra motivi dello Stabat Mater di Traetta as follows: A composition for strings probably written while he was still studying in Naples. It is built around three sections. A "Moderato" is followed by a "Largo" with long held notes, leading into an "Allegro". The first theme is then taken up again in fugue style and leads into the finale where the theme from the Largo comes back.
The thematic material comes from the Amen-fugue of Traetta's work.

About the Stabat Mater

Date: 1885
Performers:

Violin + pianoforte

Length: 6.17 minutes
Particulars:

The CD-insert describes this Preludio allo Stabat Mater del celebre M° Pergolesi as follows: The composition is divided into four parts which follow each other without a break. A "Andantino" is followed by an "Allegro non tanto" built as an extremely rigorous fugue around three voices. Then comes a short modulating recitative which introduces the "Moderato" con sentimento" which in turn gives way to a new "Allegro" finish. It is a well constructed piece drawing clearly recognizable on themes from Pergolesi's work.

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!
