Dear Rebecca, Thanks SO Much. I'm happy for Your Comment. The Stabat Mater Pergolesi: Recent studies, however, have supported other assumptions look under different aspects the genesis of this famous musical work: Meanwhile appears possible that the drafting of the Stabat had begun some time ago, not only in Naples, where the musician lived for some time now, but also concurrently other major works that mark not only his life but also the history of music. For example, it is assumed that the Stabat Mater was started in 1734 during the composition dell'Adriano in Syria (and especially of intermezzi Livietta and Tracollo) and only finished in Pozzuoli in 1736 during the last months of his life, and all together ' another masterpiece of sacred composer, or Salve Regina.
Also because it was Pergolesi himself to trust his old master Francesco Feo, went to find it to make sure of his state of health, which had no time to relax or think to leave because the work was finished, and also in a hurry.
The Lent approached, and deadlines were incumbent. But there was more: the Stabat Mater is always regarded as the spiritual testament of Pergolesi, and a testament not be incomplete. All sustains the song and is appropriate to shine the two female voices, and already is emerging from a climate moving and melancholy, the music comes alive, shape, art becomes very high and seems almost to glimpse the face of the Madonna in tears before the Christ.
