STABAT MATER
Gioacchino Rossini’s Stabat Mater is a music liturgical sequence in ten movements. One of the most loved Pesaro composer’s wor- ks, the Stabat Mater is considered his authori- tative masterpiece, and it stands out from other works of the same genre.
The Stabat Mater is placed between the opera and the sacred music and it has, in the vocal writing and in the perfect orchestration, the operatic style of the more adult Rossini and a valid recovery of the Italian polyphonic tradi- tions.
When he was called around 1832 to set to mu- sic the text of the sequence by Jacopone da Todi, which describes the torment of the Virgin at the foot of the cross, Rossini undoubtedly recalled the Stabat Mater studied and worshi- ped by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, piece that he deeply loved.
The text of Jacopone thus becomes a true me- lodrama, characterized by a totally personal style and a strong, concrete and highly sceno- graphic language, in which Maria and the other interpreters of passion confront each other on the meaning of death.
The work had been commissioned by Manuel Fernández Varela, a noble Spanish prelate and theologian, and in 1832 the Pesarese wro- te only six issues. He stopped at the Quartet and gave to Giovanni Tadolini the task to complete the rest, and this remains the state of the work for ten years. In 1842 the author decided to settle the Stabat himself, replacing Tadolini’s movements with others personally written.
A last first performance takes place in the same year: the ten complete numbers, closed by a very heavy Fugue, were performed on 7 January 1842 in the Salle Ventadour in Paris and it is in this edition that the Stabat Mater, considered by many to be the fulfillment of Rossini’s music, has become one of the man- stay of the modern Rossinian repertoire.
