1 hour ago1 hr A deathbed piece: without looking it up, I would tend to think Tuberculosis, and it is to me both beautiful and painful to listen to. It is expressive yet minimalistic; right up my alley! I'm not going to do any sort of analysis, because the composition really needs no analysis. Thoughts?Giovanni B. Pergolesi - Stabat Mater (1736) {Kirkby/Bowman}
