“Cujus Animam Gementem” is part of Pergolesi’s larger oeuvre, which includes the famous Stabat Mater, a sacred choral work composed in 1736. Pergolesi was an Italian composer of the Baroque period. He was born in 1710 in Jesi, Italy, and was a child prodigy, composing his first opera at the age of 17. He went on to compose a variety of works, including operas, sacred music, and instrumental pieces.
Many thanks goes to Rebekah Beall (soprano) for agreeing to record this piece with me. We are currently preparing for our upcoming collaborative recital at Christ Church Anglican Church, Beechworth, on July 30. A video of the concert will be posted on the channel in due course.
