Description
Stabat Mater – Paul Mealor
Lux Aeterna – Morten Lauridsen
Confronting the darkness and horror of Mary, the mother of Christ, witnessing her own son dying on the cross, the traditional Stabat Mater text describes the scene and beseeches the listener to meditate personally on these things. The traditional Lux Aeterna text completes the inevitable journey from earthly life and suffering to eternal light. These extraordinary compositions offer the experience of both, carrying the listener from despair to hope, from fear to comfort, from darkness to light.
