Pergolesi Stabat Mater - Holy Trinity Rotherhithe
Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's Stabat Mater was his last composition, and arguably his most iconic. Amidst its languid and lamenting tones, the piece reflects with nuance and grace the spectrum of emotions of a mother grieving for her son, including a pervasive sense of hope. In the face of ultimate despair, there is yet room to believe in joy.
The piece will be performed in its entirety, forming the second half of the program, and will be supplemented by a series of duets from Henry Purcell and organ music.
