Following the success of The Armed Man, the Nelson Civic Choir and orchestra returns with another Karl Jenkins work: his Stabat Mater.
Karl Jenkins is one of the world's most popular living composers. As in his well-known Adiemus, in Stabat Mater he blends harmonies from popular and classical music, making the piece engaging for modern audiences. The work reflects on the suffering of Mary, mother of Jesus, at the time of the Crucifixion, and includes an arrangement of the Ave Verum, a movement And The Mother Did Weep sung simultaneously in many languages; Lament, written by Jenkins' wife Carol Barratt and Incantation, sung partly in early Arabic.
