The grief that Mary experiences at the foot of Jesusโ Cross was memorably set by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi in Italy, Krzysztof Penderecki in Poland, Francis Poulenc in France, and most recently by Stephen Paulus in the USA. The emotional impact of the text fired these composers to write some of their most powerful choral works, with Pergolesiโs version being considered by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as the most beautiful music ever written! Paulusโ version is sung by the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus, for whom it was written, and they also supply a madrigal from a great 20th century Italian, Ildebrando Pizzetti, and โ most unusually for a choir that usually sings a cappella โ a part-song by the contemporary British composer, Francis Pott, in which they are accompanied by pianist, Diana Umali.
