	Dvorak and his Stabat Mater op. 58 — a Choral Masterpiece
		Among all Stabat Maters ever set to music by various composers over the centuries, this one holds a special place as the most symphonic one and as the one that was the most clearly written by a classical orchestral composer.
		It was to become a work of mourning and a work of healing, for the Stabat Mater is based on an ancient Roman Catholic poem, in Latin, that tells of the Virgin Mary’s grief over the crucifixion of Jesus as she is standing under his cross.
		The Stabat Mater has been put to music by many composers over the years, but this particular one is dripping with Dvorak’s religious faith and some of it cannot help but rubbing off on the listener.

		The Stabat Mater was written by Dvorak in direct response to personal and private grief—when he began the work, in 1876, he and his wife had recently lost a baby daughter, who had lived only two days.
		Other work intervened requiring the composer to set the Stabat Mater aside, but he soon resumed it in 1877 after losing two more children in quick succession—a baby daughter to accidental poisoning, and his three-year-old son to smallpox.
		In 1883, the London premiere of the Stabat Mater met with such success that Dvorak was invited to come to England to conduct the work.

	Antonin Dvorak - Stabat Mater (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904), of course, is better known as composer of instrumental music; however, his vocal music is substantial and helped to establish his international reputation.
		Well suited to the native choral tradition, the Stabat Mater was a resounding success in England and Dvorak conducted several performances including one in 1884 in London, which he described as making "a tremendous impression." Indeed, the reception of his choral music there inspired him to compose his great Requiem, premiered in Birmingham in 1891.
		Like the Requiem mass, the Stabat Mater is a death-haunted work.

		The text of the Stabat Mater represents the kind of religious poetry that flourished in Central Italy in the late medieval times.
		The concept of ‘God’ in Christianity is male, yet in the Stabat Mater and one other great religious text, the Magnificat, we find a unique feminine perspective.
		In its first eight stanzas the poetry expresses a deep compassion for the mother of Christ as she stands and watches her son as he suffers on the cross and in the second stanza direct mention is made to the prophesy of Simeon.

	Stabat Mater
		of the catholic liturgy, the Stabat Mater is a text regarded with caution by composers since it is long and dwells so exclusively on specific images associated with the Crucifixion that it allows little option for contrast.
		Patterson's solution to the problems is dramatically most effective; contrast being achieved by initially placing the emotional focus on the chorus, and only as the work proceeds allowing the emphasis to pass to the mezzo soprano soloist, as though it is the unbearable sorrow of her burdens that force her into the protagonist's role.
		Although cast in eight sections the work was formally conceived as a single span which is unified harmonically by frequent use of certain chords; texturally by an orchestral colour beard at the outset of trumpet, high bassoon, and vibraphone; and thematically by the Stabat Mater motif sung as the chorus enters.
