The Stabat Mater is a musical setting of the Stabat Mater sequence, composed by Luigi Boccherini in 1781 (G. 532a) and revised in 1800 (G. 532b, Op. 61). [1]
Boccherini (1743–1805) was a musician best known for chamber music (string quintets). His vocal work is played less often. He was married to a singer and wrote numerous religious works (including one mass, two motets and two oratorios).
His Stabat Mater was commissioned in 1781 by the King of Spain's younger brother Luis of Spain, Count of Chinchón. It was conceived for a liturgical service at Palacio de la Mosquera, Arenas de San Pedro, where they were living. The text dates from the 13th century and is attributed to Jacopone da Todi which meditates on the suffering of Mary during the crucifixion of Jesus. The first version consisted of one soprano voice accompanied by a string quintet (two violins, one viola, two cellos). It consists of 11 parts and lasts around three-quarters of an hour. Cherubini revised it around twenty years later for three voices, adding another soprano and a tenor, and using the Allegro of his second symphony as an added overture. [2] The definitive work is known as his Opus 61.

Karol Szymanowski's Stała matka bolejąca , Op. 53, was composed in 1925 and 1926. Scored for soprano, alto and baritone soloists, SATB choir and orchestra, it sets Jozef Janowski's Polish translation of the Marian hymn in six movements. His first composition to a liturgical text, it is characteristic of his late period in being partly based on Polish melodies and rhythms; a stay in the Tatras mountains, at Zakopane, in 1922 had led him to describe Polish folk music as "enlivening [in] its proximity to Nature, [in] its force, [in] its directness of feeling, [in] its undisturbed racial purity." Indeed, Szymanowski's use of Polish musical elements together with the Polish translation here is unique.
