Stabat Mater
Recommended by Jan Schumacher 2021
Inspired by the timeless sacred text, Nana Forte’s Stabat Mater for six-part mixed choir offers a deeply human reflection on grief and compassion. The piece speaks a contemporary musical language shaped by an emotional depth, harmonic richness, and transparent textures that lead the listener from quiet sorrow to peaceful transcendence.
In the audio sample, you can hear a live recording of the world premiere on August 25, 2024, performed by the LandesJugendChor Rheinland Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate State Youth Choir), sponsored by the Landesmusikrat Rheinland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate State Music Council).
