oSSini: Stabat mater
1. introduzione. andantino moderato
Stabat Mater dolorosa
Iuxta crucem lacrimosa
Dum pendebat Filius.
2. aria (tenor). allegretto maestoso
Cuius animam gementem
Contristatam et dolentem
Pertransivit gladius
O quam tristis et afflicta
Fuit illa benedicta
Mater unigeniti!
Quae moerebat et dolebat,
Et tremebat cum videbat
Nati poenas incliti.
3. duetto (soprano i/ii). largo
Quis est homo qui non fleret,
Christi Matrem si videret
In tanto supplicio?
Quis non posset contristari,
Piam Matrem contemplari
Dolentem cum Filio?
5. coro (a cappella) e recitativo (basso). andante mosso
Eia Mater, fons amoris
Me sentire vim doloris
Fac, ut tecum lugeam.

In amando Christum Deum
Ut sibi complaceam.
6. Quartetto (soloists). allegretto moderato
Sancta Mater, istud agas,
Crucifixi fige plagas
Cordi meo valide.
Tui nati vulnerati,
Tam dignati pro me pati,
Poenas mecum divide.
Fac me vere tecum flere,
Crucifixo condolere,
Donec ego vixero.
Iuxta crucem tecum stare,
Te libenter sociare
In planctu desidero.
Virgo virginum praeclara,
Mihi iam non sis amara
Fac me tecum plangere.
7. cavatina (soprano ii). andante grazioso
Fac, ut portem Christi mortem
Passionis eius sortem,
Et plagas recolere.
Fac me plagis vulnerari,
Cruce hac inebriari,
Ob amorem Filii.

teXtS and tranSlationS
The grieving Mother
stood weeping beside
the cross where her Son was hanging.
Through her weeping soul,
compassionate and grieving,
a sword passed.
O how sad and afflicted
was that blessed
Mother of the Only-begotten!
Who mourned and grieved,
the pious Mother,
looking at the torment of her glorious Child.
For the sins of his people she saw
Jesus in torment
and subjected to the scourge.
She saw her sweet offspring dying,
forsaken, while he
gave up his spirit.
O Mother, fountain of love,
make me feel the power of sorrow,
that I may grieve with you.
Grant that my heart may burn
in the love of Christ my Lord,
that I may greatly please him.
Holy Mother, grant that the wounds
of the Crucified drive deep
into my heart.
That of your wounded Son,
who so deigned to suffer for me,
I may share the pain.
Let me sincerely weep with you,
bemoan the Crucified,
for as long as I live.
To stand beside the cross with you,
and to join you
in your weeping, this I desire.
Chosen Virgin of virgins,
be not bitter with me,
let me weep with thee.
Grant that I may bear the death of Christ,
share his Passion,
and commemorate His wounds.
Let me be wounded with his wounds,
let me be inebriated by the cross
and your Son’s blood.
8. aria (soprano i) e coro. andante maestoso
Inflammatus et accensus
Per Te, Virgo, sim defensus
In die iudicii.
Fac me cruce custodiri
Morte Christi praemuniri
Confoveri gratia.
9. Quartetto (soloists). andante
Quando corpus morietur,
Fac, ut animae donetur
Paradisi gloria.
teXtS and tranSlationS
Lest I be set afire by flames of death,
Virgin, may I be defended by you,
on the Day of Judgment.
Christ, when it is time to pass away,
grant that through your Mother I may
come to the palm of victory.
When my body dies,
grant that to my soul is given the
glory of paradise. Amen.
10. finale. allegro – andante moderato
Amen. In sempiterna saecula. Amen. Throughout time everlasting.
