Stabat Mater op. 46

The poignant "Stabat Mater, Op. 46" is among the most moving works in sacred vocal music. With profound emotional depth and refined sonic artistry, this composition sets the timeless lament of the Virgin Mary at the cross to music. The masterful interplay between expressive soloists (soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto) and the four-part mixed choir (SATB) creates a deeply touching atmosphere that captivates both performers and audiences alike.

This high-quality piano reduction, published by Bote & Bock, faithfully renders the orchestral texture while remaining exceptionally playable on the keyboard. It is perfectly suited for intensive rehearsal work as well as performances with piano accompaniment. An indispensable edition for ambitious choirs, soloists, and conductors wishing to bring this magnificent work to life.
