- The Stabat Mater of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. Live, high-definition video of the entire work in concert by the San Francisco Early Music Ensemble Voices of Music.
Soloists: Dominique Labelle, soprano; Meg Bragle, mezzo-soprano.
In his short life, Giovanni Pergolesi composed a wide variety of music in the major genres of the time. His primary compositions were also operas, especially the new Opera Buffa (comic opera). His highly influential mini-opera, La Serva Padrona (1733) was the subject of a fierce debate in France over the future of opera, and was one of the most popular operas of the mid-18th century. The Stabat Mater, written in 1736, may have been composed for members of the secular nobility, the Cavalieri della Vergine dei Dolori, that met in Naples and commissioned a setting of the Stabat Mater every year. A few years earlier, Alessandro Scarlatti set the same text for members of the same group. Pergolesi's Stabat Mater was an immediate hit, and was copied, imitated, arranged and reprinted many times throughout Europe. When it was engraved in London in 1749, it quickly became the most frequently printed musical work in the 18th century.
Deconstructing Pergolesi
Despite the widespread modern appreciation of the Stabat Mater, many questions remain about how the work was intended to be performed, and much of the preparation for this concert involved the making of a new edition, in which the many extraneous dynamics and articulation markings were removed, and Pergolesi's own unusual instructions, such as "sotto voce", "lasciare", and "dolce assai" were restored. Contemporaneous copies of the holograph manuscript as well as other works in the six surviving Pergolesi manuscripts were consulted for clues as to the interpretation of Pergolesi's markings: early copies of the original Stabat Mater manuscript, which differ only in small details, provided a number of missing or illegible notes. A dozen or so bars from the viola part, missing for hundreds of years, have also been restored. The musicians of Voices of Music all contributed valuable insights for the final version.
Pergolesi does not specify a specific voice type in his manuscript; however, the wide dynamic range and difficult sequences of trills indicate singers experienced in baroque opera, which fits with the secular provenance of the commission. Virtuoso music from this time was sung by both men and women, and although Farinelli and Senesino were operatic superstars (and a box-office guarantee), the soprano Margherita Durastanti was known to have sung operas by Scarlatti in Naples, and Francesca Cuzzoni sang all over Italy. We have chosen to interpret many of the original dynamic markings as transitional, so that instead of playing sections that simply alternate between loud and soft, there are gradations of phrasing between the pairs of dynamic marks. Once the accretions of centuries of performances have been removed, Pergolesi's score is surprisingly modern and streamlined in style: bold harmonies and vibrant rhythmic patterns occur in every movement, yet each individual section has its own special character.
The fugal ending is a slight but meaningful nod towards the more traditional ending of a large-scale liturgical work; even here, in the sacrosanct Amen, Pergolesi cannot resist giving the fugal structure a splash of chromatic paint as the piece moves inexorably to the final cadence.
0:00 Stabat Mater Dolorosa
4:04 Cujus animam gementem
6:23 O quam tristis et afflicta
8:47 Quae moerebat et dolebat
10:52 Quis est homo
10:52 Vidit suum dulcem natum
17:38 Eja mater fons amoris
20:04 Fac ut ardeat cor meum
22:44 Sancta mater, istud agas
28:04 Fac ut portem Christi mortem
32:01 Inflammatus et accensus
34:16 Quando corpus morietur
38:04 Amen

I was trying to work with this in the background, but ended up watching and listening to the whole performance instead of working. ;D
This is FANTASTIC. It makes me remember my childhood, singing in a church choir.
My daughter loves it too. We were just discussing what music will live forever. This definitely will!
This has to be *the* archetypical performance of this piece - very conservative and competent execution of what comes to us intact, and utterly tasteful rendition of what is left to be interpreted. If Pergolesi could hear this, I’d like to think that he would be profoundly humbled and gratified.
So very well articulated, my friend.
@@tcharles2466 yes to your comment!
you ve given an english lesson
BUT in the solo 29:30 vivika in saint dennis does LOT BETTER... CHECK IT, please some parts are not in tune
Nah.
Extraordinary!!!! Superb!!!!! By far the best recording of this composition. Thanks Pergolesi and very many thanks to Voices of Music.
Our pleasure!
I love the sort of paucity of instruments, feels really raw, at the same time, very expertly performed. I can actually hear the plucked bass vibrating my speakers. Wish I could give it 5 likes!!!
Congratulations to all the musicians on reaching 100,000 views.
Commentaire fort mérité!

Indeed. As of today, April 15, 2022, there are 462,403 views! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Beautiful. Listening on Good Friday 2021. I was blessed as my church did this today (only the first- Stabat Mater Dolorosa). An absolutely heart-wrenchingly gorgeous work of music.
Yes, amazing music.
Хорошо исполняют! То ,что привыкла с детства слышать!
Pergolesi's original composition had no choir, and the two voices and strings were features of every Stabat Mater composed every year for the group of "Cavalieri"--there are quite a few of these compositions by different composers, all for the same orchestra. Years later, a few composers added chorus parts and arranged some of the solo parts for chorus to make the piece a lot bigger and louder, increasing the orchestra as well.
Interesting...what an exquisite composition!
Thank you Voices of Music for this information! It is a beautiful piece, and your continued, and specialized experience in presenting these Baroque pieces bring to us so much pleasure! Thank you for your care and love for this period of music.
I have been listening for this version for the last three years, and here I am listening to this version again. Simply put: Outstanding
No music moves me like this! This is by far the best recording I've heard! A wonderful interpretation and amazing sound quality. Thanks a lot!
(very belated reply!) Apart from sheer talent, VoM uploads always excel in their audio and visual quality. Best wishes.
I'm not really in classical music, but I return regulary to watch this video. Over and over again I'm fascinated and touched by this wonderful performance.
It was one in a million.

Thank you very much! :)
Muy didáctica

Des hommes et des dieux
simply outstanding. one of the most beautiful renditions I've ever heard
Javier Fernandez Molero: I wholeheartedly agree.
Un joven compositor como Pergolesi tuvo que estar inspirado en un ser Superior para tan deslumbrante obra musical.
Exacto!!! Pergolesi puso el papel y la pluma . Lo demás es como tu dices,
tan formidable inspiración tuvo un origen muy superior!!
Прекрасные голоса, божественная музыка! Спасибо! Thank you!
This should be a 4 million views piece of work stands at 408K March 2021...... this world need this more than another time in 2021...
A sublime piece of music performed masterfully.
Bravissimi straordinario grazie ❤️
Já assisti inúmeras vezes, sempre me emociono. É maravilho! Obrigada!
O quam tristis et afflícta .... around min 7 , such sorrow in the music! it is as if we could be there and hear the Mother weeping for her lost Son. so very touching, so moving !
This is a perfect example of something that is done as it must be. Perfectly. I am enchanted.
This is beautiful beyond words. Performed with such elegance and dignity not to forget with great musicality.
La mejor interpretación de esta sublime obra que escuché hasta hoy. Gracias!!
sí: mas linda que la de saint dennis 2009 con sabina y vivika
@@diegobarreto8662 para mí, al menos, sí.
I have been listening to, and loving, the Stabat Mater for many years. This is the best version that I have ever heard. Congratulations!
This is one of the BEST performances of music of any era I have ever heard! Period! (Pun sort of intended!)
This performance is the very best I've ever heard of this music . Thank you! It can't be bored. It has a special spirit.
What a wonderful performance. The music is fully embodied by each performer, continuously throughout the piece. Thank You!
You are welcome!
Si, cantan con toda su alma , con toda su carne herida de madre
Truly, a great Stabat Mater with every detail crystalline clear, and every performer outstanding! Bravissimo.
Thank you!
I feel as if I'm standing before a master''s canvas after a loving restoration revealing colors, life and light unimagined. Such beautiful, profound music making.
This is officially the best music channel on RUclips
Wonderful and perfect interpretation. I Love Pergolesi and Voices of Music.
Incredibly polished performance with superb poise, articulation, and emotional content. Bravo to all of you.
Heavenly music !!! Excellent performance !!!!!!!!! Thank u Bach !!! Thanks to voices of music and RUclips !!!!!!!!!!
Wow. For a rather impromptu-looking ensemble in a rather non-concert-looking venue, the preparation, performance, lighting, acoustics, and recording are all excellent. They bring out all the inherent spookiness of this rather dark and frightening piece of music. I've heard this on radio many times over the years but until today I didn't know what it was. Pergolesi. Interesting. According to Wikipedia he wrote this at age 26 and died a few weeks later. Sad end to an obviously great composer.
It's just sublime. What a truly magnificent performance.
Thank you so much.
soooooo perfect, am I stoned ? its soooo gentle, succinct , refined, restrained... ... and stuff
Es mejor que cualquier yuyo
Superb performance! I sang parts of this as a child and absolutely enjoyed every bit of it ❤
I have utmost respect for the vocalists and the 5 ladies on the left too. The lads on the right do a magnificent job of the lower notes and I've seen "lute player" before delivering flawless tunes. Forgive me of my callousness if even that is a word. I just love music and this is really inspiring.
I should be listening to Dubstep, but I can't help myself.
I am so glad I subscribed to this gem of a channel. KEEP IT UP I LOVE IT!
Myladies, you know how to water a grown man's eyes. Much love from Germany ♥
Es así. Gracias por decirlo.
This music is even better with two powerful and expressive female voices like Dominique and Meg! Thank you very much Ladies!
Браво👏👏👏. Какое счастье иметь возможность слушать эту музыку и исполнение!
The emotion rises ....Thanks due this Splendid performance. And i want to underline the presence of "archlute", in composizione of 2 Autors of neapolitans XVIII century CENTURY . In Rome, finge 50 yers , there us and open the souls a "music and poesy lounge" ." L'Arciliuto"
I LOVE singing this piece so much. Awesome!
Exquisite, extraordinary.I have heard many fine performances of this masterpiece but this to me comes out on top.
Absolutely. Perfect performance.
This was an outstanding performance. I watch it again and again.
Because of my fascination for this piece, I am now learning Latin through self-study. I am using Duolingo, and next will be delving into organized Latin grammar and syntax rules, plus vocabulary. Thank you Voices of Music!
Salve!
Salve! Me bene habeo.
bis heute oft gehört und gesehen und jedesmal beobache ich ein anderer Person in's besondere zum hören und sehen Alles was Er oder Sie gibt
Muy bien,, voy a hacerlo también
Muchas gracias
Moving, immediate, fresh and transparent instrumental textures. A superb and deeply moving performance of this lovely work. Thank you.
+malcolm edwards You are welcome!
Hermoso concierto...impecable...mil gracias....
:)
Музыка Перголези это Музыка нашего времени. Гениальный композитор! И всего 26 лет прожил...
Absolutely brilliant and very interesting reading about it and this particular performance.
Y a-t-il quelque chose de plus beau, de plus sublime? Interprétation vocale exceptionnelle, c'est tout simplement mon opinion. BRAVO
Bravissimi, splendida e perfetta esecuzione!
Quelle plus belle expression musicale révèle,avec autant de talent,la souffrance et le désespoir d'une mère !
Excellent Performance! I like the small Orchestra. Many Churches in the 18th century would have been lucky to have such an Ensemble.
An especially beautiful and moving performance.Your performances consistently serve as a standard of excellence. Thanks for sharing such rare and refined gifts with the world.
+Bert Carter Thanks, Bert!
О Боже мій, яке чудове виконання!
Це дійсно, прекрасна музика!
Amazing performance. I'm not an authority on the issue but according to me, Pergolesi's Stabat Mater is one of the hardest pieces to perform well. However, I think the execution here depicted was excellent. Thank you for sharing this with us
This is music making of the very best quality. Thank you!
This is the place I wanna bring my kids to feel what we can do with music.
Este Stabat Mater de Pergolesi, com este nível de execução, é elevado à presença do próprio compositor. O barroco está aqui...!
And it's beauty and magnificence continues to live on with this group. It is beyond compare. Thank you Voices of Music!
This was a terrific, small ensemble of musicians playing as a background accompaniment (rather than as center stage, and thus competing with the soloists). The two soloists, Dominique Labelle [Soprano] and Meg Bragle [Mezzo-soprano], have exceptionally pleasing voices that blended enjoyably with each other in the 7 Duetti, and were uniquely moving in the Arias. Thank you, 'The Voices of Music,' and thanks for this wonderous upload.
Escucho y mí corazón dice ,: otra vez,,,!
Glorious music and an inspired performance by two of my favorite singers -Brava!
Excelente execução desta belissima peça musica de Pergolesi. Domenique Labelle e Meg Bragle, duas belíssimas vozes. Bravo!
Beautiful!
je ne suis pas d'accord avec certains phrasés, mais qualité des voix, des instrumentistes indubitables!
une très belle version !!
Bravo à vous !!
Molto Bravi !! In queste Formazioni il direttore e' in Più !!!!! La Melodia e' Suprema !!! Comunque il Gesto e' bello & convincente !!! VICTORSTARITA
Absolutely marvelous! So moving!
Meraviglia. Superbi
Preciosas voces!!!
Enhorabuena
Stabat mater dolorosa significa "A mãe permaneceu cheia de tristeza". O hino chamado de Dolorosa, um dos mais pungentes e diretos poemas medievais, medita sobre o sofrimento de Maria, a mãe de Jesus, durante a crucificação. Ele é cantado em honra à Nossa Senhora das Dores. O Dolorosa já recebeu diversas composições musicais por diversos artistas, principalmente Palestrina, Pergolesi, Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Haydn, Rossini e Dvořák.
Gracias gracias
This is a masterpiece of the Baroque; Divine! Thank you for sending me.
Ok...I have to revise my first comment: This is just incredibly good! Thank you all.
Listrening to this version once again during the Lent period.
Interpretazione di grande finezza stilistica. Bravi!
気持ちの入ったとても素晴らしい演奏と思います。教会の中での真摯な敬虔な祈りが聴こえてきます。
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.... you are wanderful!!!
G. B. Pergolesi's Stabat Mater... truly magnificent, an unreal masterpiece!
Fantastic! Probably the best performance I've heard, or one of the best for sure. Thank you for all your work, it's a joy to listen to your performances.
Absolutely transcendent. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for your art Voices of Music!
Glorious music gloriously performed! Also, the devoré velvet sleeves on that gown - gorgeous and beautiful
Oh, my. This performance is soooo good. Thank you ever so much for sharing it with us all. Soon (24 more) you will have reached a quarter of a million views. Very well deserved!
Absolutely incredible: such a beautiful performance!
Excellent! Thank you
Magnificent performance. Thanks for sharing.
D'une grande beauté, une merveille pour nos oreilles! merci
Beautifully rendered, moving and technically excellent. Thank you :)
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous performance...well done.
¡Gracias por compartirlo con el mundo!
Maravilloso el Stabat Mater de Pergolesi, y magnifica interpretacion
People today don't know how to accept their pain, their crosses, and to suffer the crosses of others. To grieve with them in their sorrows. This wonderful hymn teaches us, through the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary, what the pinnacle of compassion looks like. Something wonderous to aspire to.
Hermosa composición. Preciosa interpretación. Gracias.
very superbe reading of a great musical masterpiece
It was absolutely outstanding version ! thanks for sharing
Estou extasiado com a performance do grupo. Bravo!!
Beautiful ensemble! Thanks for sharing!
Che bellezza!Molto bello.
Such a wonderful discovery !!!!!!!
So beautiful!!!! Thank you!!! The recording quality is so nice too...! Bravo!
