A Lenten Musical Journey, Day 11

In keeping with the day, a Marian (but also Lenten) selection: “Quando corpus morietur” from the Stabat Mater of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. (I especially love the wavering strains of the “Amen.”)

Quando corpus morietur,
Fac, ut animæ donetur
Paradisi Gloria. Amen

When my body dies
Grant that to my soul is given
The glory of paradise. Amen
