1.
Stabat mater dolorosa
Juxta crucem lacrymosa,
Dum pendebat Filius.

Cujus animam gementem,
Contristatem et dolentem,
Pertransivit gladius.
3.
O quam tristis et afflicta
Fuit illa benedicta
Mater Unigeniti
4.
Quae maerebat et dolebat,
Pia Mater, dum videbat (et tremebat)
Nati pœnas incliti
1.
the grieving Mother stood
beside the cross, weeping
where her Son was hanging
2.
through her sighing soul
compassionate and grieving
pierced by a sword
3.
o how sad and afflicted
was that blessed
Mother of the only-begotten
4.
who mourned and grieved
loving Mother, when she saw (and trembled)
her child with torment inflicted

Amazing music!!! Gets to the very core of your soul. The most tragic music in the world. For me even more so that Mozart's Requiem

Thanks!!!!

Hay muchas formas de expresar el sentimiento y no hay una regla universal,menos en musica.

De manera que en igualdad de sentimiento, desolacion y esperanza tambien uno puede tomar en cuenta las obras dedicadas a la expresion del dolor cristiano en la Misa de Requiem o simplemente en el Requiem de Rossini, Verdi, Brahms, Dvorak, Mozart ,Faure ,en donde cada uno en su estilo denota la emocion del ser humano ante la muerte .

For me maybe not more tragic than Mozart's Requiem, but overall you are right! You can feel sorrow of the work and of the composer who wrote it.
