Kim André Arnesen's Stabat Mater breathes new life into the 13th-century Latin hymn, which portrays the Virgin Mary's suffering at the crucifixion of her son, Jesus Christ. Amongst the traditional stanzas are two movements setting contemporary poems: Euan Tait's A Mother's Prayer, which was commissioned for this work, and a moving poem written by a child hospitalised with cancer. Arnesen's characteristic rich harmonies and memorable melodic lines combine to create a powerful and emotional major new work.This vocal score, which includes accompaniment for organ, can also be used for performing the version of Stabat Mater with chamber orchestra accompaniment available on hire from Boosey & Hawkes.
