Stabat Mater
Arrangement for choir and organ (arr. Szathmáry) 1896/97
The Stabat Mater is the last work composed by Giuseppe Verdi. He completed it in 1897 at the age of 84. One year later it was published with the somewhat earlier Te Deum as part of the Quattro pezzi sacri. Verdi set Mary’s meditation in the face of her crucified son, a classic of Medieval Latin poetry, in an operatically expressive style for choir and large orchestra. Verdi’s Stabat Mater is now published for the first time in a critical edition.
Also available in the original version (Carus 27.294/00).

Composer
Giuseppe Verdi
| 1813-1901Giuseppe Verdi was born in Le Roncole on the 9th October 1813, the son of an innkeeper and small-scale farmer. Although he grew up in poor circumstances his extraordinary musical talent was soon recognized and he received organ lessons, then – assisted by a patron – he entered the Busseto Gymnasium. His benefactor Antoni Barezzi continued to assist him privately after the Milan Conservatoire had refused him admission. Following some years as organist and director of music in Busseto he made his breakthrough in Milan with the premiere of the opera "Nabucco" in 1842. The works which he wrote after 1850 are still among the principal pillars of the opera repertoire. Personal details
