Stabat Mater by Emanuele D'astorga
for SATB soloists, SATB chorus, and string ensemble Composed during the early 1700s, this was to become one of the most frequently performed choral works of the eighteenth century. Robert King has consulted eighteenth-century sources to prepare this edition, which includes an organ reduction for rehearsal purposes.
An Italian composer of Spanish descent, Emanuele d'Astorga (1680-?1757) was one of the most colourful figures in early eighteenth-century music. In his day, Astorga was best known for his chamber cantatas, of which more than 150 survive. These are well written and tuneful, and were thoroughly popular. His most enduring work proved to be a setting of the Stabat Mater, his only surviving sacred work, which was one of the most frequently performed choral works of the eighteenth century.
