∙ 10y agoNow I know who wrote it! It is an oratorio about the Passion sequence of Christ, and is one of the most sorrowful, dreary pieces of music I have ever heard. An Oratorio is essentially an Opera-like composition that is worked around a religious theme and does not have acting in the usual sense. The title means Standing Mother. Rossini, an opera composer,. is far better known for his lively and now Western-oriented William Tell Overture! Unfortunately the movie Lone Ranger did not do well. The William Tell overture is nothing if not lively! - Stabat Mater is flat as a coffin stand. It is hard to believe the same composer wrote both.

What is 'Stabat Mater' when translated from Latin to English?
Stabat mater - "mater" is the nominative case of the Latin word for 'mother'. Nominative means subject, which means 'mother' is doing something. As in Latin, sentences are comprised of a subject and a verb. 'T' is a typical ending for third person verbs, "stabat, stabant". Stabat comes from the Latin word 'to stand' which is 'sto, stare'. Stabat is in the imperfect tense, meaning an action that happened in progress--not absolute, not completed. Thus: Stabat mater means "the mother was standing" (I believe this relates to the first lines, which describe Mother Mary standing by the cross grieving. "Stabat mater dolorosa", 'the grieving mother was standing. . .'). Hope that helps.
