Stabat Mater, a medieval text about a mother’s suffering as she watches her Son die on the cross, is an integral part of the Christian Easter tradition. Many composers have set this powerful text to music, including Antonín Dvořák in 1877. Grieving the tragic loss of his three children, Dvořák expressed through his music a profound sorrow, humility before God, and an unending hope.
