Composed in 2015, Stabat Mater was commissioned by the Genesis Foundation for Harry Christophers and The Sixteen. 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 premiere 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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784544396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784544393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boosey \u0026amp; Hawkes Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.25w x 0.47d","brand":"James MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486050398463,"sku":"9781784544393","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15cd2b51-f57a-47d9-baac-493c4805453b.jpg?v=1778053335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stabat-mater-james-macmillan-9781784544393","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
