About This Song
About "Stabat Mater, P. 77 : Pergolesi: Stabat Mater, P. 77: VII. Alto. Eia mater, fons amoris" by Christa Ludwig
In 'Eia mater, fons amoris,' Ludwig becomes the weeping fountain itself—cool, clear, and endlessly overflowing. Pergolesi sets her voice adrift over a halting bass line, creating a tension between celestial consolation and the raw, human ache of standing at the foot of the cross.
