- The voices of the Abendmusik Chorus, Doane College Choir, Nebraska Wesleyan University Chorus, soloists Kendall Reimer, Rebecca Shane, Drew Duncan, and Jeff Keele, all accompanied by the Abendmusik Symphony Orchestra, join in this presentation of Dvorak's monumental setting of Stabat Mater.
The text of the Stabat Mater, a 13th century meditative poem reflecting on the suffering of Mary, mother of Jesus, at the foot of the Cross, has been set to music over 400 times although Dvorak's setting is the most extensive exposition. Dvorak, intensely Roman Catholic, was moved to composition following the death of his first three children at early ages.
Eia, Mater, fons amoris
me sentire vim doloris
fac, ut tecum lugeam.
O thou Mother! fount of love!
Touch my spirit from above,
make my heart with thine accord:
O Mother, fount of love. Make me feel the strength of sorrow, so that I may mourn with you.
Beautiful!!!
