Texts for this meditative program include the Stabat mater, the famous 13th century poem describing Mary’s response to the crucifixion, and the Lamentations of Jeremiah that document sorrow over the destruction of Jerusalem. The program features a powerfully expressive setting of the Stabat mater by 17th century composer Giovanni Felice Sances, and François Couperin’s Leçons de Ténèbres from 1714. Musicians include sopranos Heather Holmquest and Jan Nelson, with Margret Gries, harpsichord and Ann Shaffer, viola da gamba.
