Jenkins: Stabat Mater

Karl Jenkins returns with Stabat Mater to complement his massively successful Requiem and Armed Man following the success of This Land of Ours that took Britain's most popular living composer back to his Welsh roots. The once emotional modern, culturally diverse and universally accessible style that has come to characterize the composer's sound is perfectly exemplified in this poignant choral album. Stabat Mater is a thirteenth century Roman Catholic sequence attributed to Jacopone da Todi. It has been set to music by many composers, among them Haydn, Dvorak, Vivaldi, Rossini, Pergolesi, and more.
