Francis Poulenc - Stabat Mater album flac

Stabat Mater, FP 148, is a musical setting of the Stabat Mater sequence composed by Francis Poulenc in 1950. Poulenc wrote the piece in response to the death of his friend, artist Christian Bérard; he considered writing a Requiem for Bérard, but, after returning to the shrine of the Black Virgin of Rocamadour, he selected the medieval Stabat Mater text. Poulenc's setting, scored for soprano solo, mixed chorus, and orchestra, premiered in 1951 at the Strasbourg Festival.

The Stabat Mater is a 13th-century Christian hymn to Mary, which portrays her suffering as Jesus Christ's mother during his crucifixion. Its author may be either the Franciscan friar Jacopone da Todi or Pope Innocent III. The title comes from its first line, Stabat Mater dolorosa, which means "the sorrowful mother was standing". The hymn is sung at the liturgy on the memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows.

The two works on this album present diametrically opposed sides of Francis Poulenc's musical personality and career. Les biches (it means "the does," in case you were wondering) is a joyous, somewhat raucous ballet of Poulenc's youth, an answer to Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring that touches on jazz, neoclassicism (specifically neo-Baroque styles), French popular music, and more in a consistently surprising mixture that includes an offstage choir. The Stabat Mater, composed after a friend's death in 1950, came after Poulenc's reconversion to Catholicism, and.
