About

Banned from liturgy by the Council of Trent and only readmitted in 1727, the hymn “Stabat Mater Dolorosa” is based on the perspective of Mary, a mother who watches helplessly as her son experiences the last hours of his life. Despite the ban, the depth and strength of the text appealed to several generations of composers. Accompanied by Anna Dennis and Owen Willets, both widely praised in the universe of early music, Orquestra Barroca shows us the visions of the French Marc-Antoine Charpentier and the Italian Alessandro Scarlatti on the poignant and dramatic text, in what will certainly be one of the most emotional moments of the season. The concert begins with the music of Zelenka, a Bohemian Baroque composer influenced precisely by the French and Italian styles.
