THE STABAT MATER DOLOROSA for Contralto and chamber orchestra in 9 parts RV 621

The hymn was well known to all classes by the end of the fourteenth century. The Stabat Mater Dolorosa is thought to originate from Francis­can sources in the 13th century. The monk Jacopone da Todi (ca. 1228-1306), Pope Inno­centius III (ca. 1160-1216), and the saint Bonaventura (died 1274) are named as the most probable poet, but also the Popes Gregorius and John XII and Bernhard of Clairveaux (died 1135) are mentioned. Of these ascriptions, the only probable ones are those to Innocent III and Jacopone.
