Vivaldi: Stabat Mater, RV 621 - VI. Pro peccatis, VII. Eja Mater - Scholl

Antonio Vivaldi

Stabat Mater, RV 621
VI. Pro peccatis
VII. Eja, Mater


Latin Text:

Pro peccatis suae gentis
vidit Jesum in tormentis,
et flagellis subditum.


Vidit suum dulcem Natum
moriendo desolatum,
dum emisit spiritum.


Eja, Mater, fons amoris
me sentire vim doloris
fac, ut tecum lugeam


Translation:

For the sins of his people
she saw Jesus in torment
and to the scourge subjected.


She saw her sweet child
dying abandoned
as He gave up His spirit.


Oh Mother, fountain of love,
make me feel the power of sorrow,
make it that I may grieve with you.

Is this the Australian Brandenburg?

Ensemble 415 with Chiara Banchini

[gdbalck]

Sublime heavenly music. Those strings just tug at the heart and that voice lifts you to another world. Thank you for the great music

[brianmdusa]

This is just sublime. Andreas Scholl is simply amazing. I wish I could sing like he does. I like the way you do your videos Civeleso, one could learn the song and the lyrics, and MOST OF ALL read music. That is just brilliant!!! Thanks for sharing this.

Il se peut que celui/celle qui n'a pas aimé ce beau morceaux de musique soit sourd de ne pas avoir apprécié telle beauté raffinée. Dommage. J'aurais envie de mourir car il serait la seule chose qui pourrait apaiser le chagrin de ne plus jamais pouvoir écouter la musique.

Intéressant, mais je préfère la version du Eja Mater par l'Ensemble Fratres avec Carlos Mena!

[Buddhaxe]

It's not bad but the version with Michael Chance is sooo much better.

when i was 21, this music stopped me killing myself. My final thought (what was to be my final thought) was....How could one leave a world where such music exists?

[SandrineSoprano]

Glorious music

[TajTraf]

Do you have this sheet music?

[Guichotpresident]

Andreas scholl has a really precise voice that makes all this ound easy, but, in my opinion, James Bowman sings it with more feeling...

[orphan567]

i could never have come up with something like that eja mater

[AytidaRed]

i love the eja mater so much. it's so simple and pure.
