The boundless, timeless theme: the mother's grief over the lost child. The unimaginable pain, the incomprehensible fate. Mary's gaze up at the cross. The Stabat Mater is a text that resonates through all time. Martin Runborg's post-classical setting of the prayer places the meaning of the words in close-up. A work for women's choir where the singers are united in Mary's lament to one voice through history.
