Stabat Mater (Vivaldi) Marie-Nicole Lemieux

Stabat Mater by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)
Mary-Nicole Lemieux, contralto

Stabat mater dolorosa
juxta Crucem lacrimosa,
dum pendebat Filius.

At the Cross her station keeping,
stood the mournful Mother weeping,
close to her son to the last.

I remember the voice that sang this at my church on Good Fridays, a friend of my mother's, and godmother to my baby sister. This is beautiful, and brings back memories when my mother was still alive, and we were surrounded by friends and family. Memories are good. The voice is beautiful. I will listen to more by her.
