Scored for mixed chorus and string orchestra it is a long-awaited sequel to the early masterpiece Seven Last Words from the Cross (1993), for the same forces; indeed, the later work begins with the pianissimo 'dying breaths' with which the earlier score so unforgettably closes. Cast in four movements Stabat Mater has a duration of 53 minutes. Following the première London's Financial Times commented that the composer speaks of a 'painful world of loss, violence, and spiritual desolation' [...]. Both sides of MacMillan are to be found here,the devotional and the painter of bold, dramatic canvases - the former in the ethereal writing for solo and ensemble voices, the latter in the lacerating blows and feverish anxieties depicted in the string ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInventory # :  48024526\u003cbr\u003e\nUPC:  888680925765\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN:  178454440X\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth:  9\"\u003cbr\u003e\nLength:  12\"\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight:  0.357\"\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct Weight:  0.9 lbs.\u003cbr\u003e\nNumber of Pages:  112\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boosey \u0026 Hawkes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49375150244134,"sku":"48024526","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/46993ef2-c544-5da5-8b43-fb4ffcc582aa.jpg?v=1723509181","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/stabat-mater-vocal-score-james-macmillan","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
