Delight in the Stabat Mater, a much-loved Baroque masterpiece by Pergolesi, which combines influences of stage music with the passion of religious tradition. Soloists will be drawn from the choir of sopranos and altos in this performance. We move from the old to the contemporary, with Sir James MacMillan’s deeply moving Seven Last Words, composed in 1995. MacMillan’s work combines bold and anguished cries with Scottish bagpipe rhythms and folk-like laments, ending with strings alone.
