Stabat Mater Dolorosa: Music for Passiontide

Stabat Mater Dolorosa: Music for Passiontide

Following on the huge success of Veni Emmanuel, their recording of music for Advent, Graham Ross and the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge return with Stabat mater dolorosa - a richly-varied collection of music for Passiontide. On it, polyphonic settings of the great texts of Holy Week are interwoven with a plainchant rendition of the mournful Stabat Mater - the traditional medieval poem meditating on the death of Jesus and the grief of his mother. Ross and his choir offer heartfelt performances of these staples of the sacred repertoire.
