Stabat Mater dolorósa

iuxta crucem lacrimósa,

dum pendébat Fílius.

great stuff. glorious. wonderful. heaps of praise! And be proud of the accent.

Know i am of mine ;-) Peace to all the nations of the world

@maxmooney I happen to agree with this. Not only did boys perform it when it was composed but I sang it as a boy with The Columbus Boychoir..(.now The American Boychoir). The vibrato does not do it justice  at all and there shouldn't be any.

Pergolesi is better than Mozart

Holy crap the singer is terrible in this style...Performance Practice ? Why so much vibrato ? why a conductor ? dear oh dear...

@maxmooney I have heard professional recordings of it with women before, and they sound great, as does this rendition.

[RouLa7gate7]

its a great creature...!!!!!!!!!

[maxmooney]

sorry but women should not sing this piece... it is a boy's piece

[silvermaestro]

Sorry but there is nothing in this music against Protestant doctrine. As for "Protestant" music being played in Catholic settings.... what difference does it make? A silly comment...

[noklarok]

no, i am not "trolling",, nor did i suggest these musicians were right wing, but they are hijacking a very emotive piece for a political end.

i am suggesting there is a difference between a mother losing her young child to (e.g) an illness and a mother who encouraged her son to join the army and proudly boasted of her son defending america only to have him returned in a casket.

although deaths of soldiers are sad, they are avoidable... especially since there was no reason to invade iraq,

@noklarok Cascadia Academy of Music in Portland? You think these people are right wing people who agree with the war? Oh I see you are just trolling.. *yawn*
