About "Stabat Mater, P. 77 : Pergolesi: Stabat Mater, P. 77: IV. Alto. Quae moerebat et dolebat" by James Bowman
Pergolesi's 'Quae moerebat et dolebat' is grief made architecture: a solo alto line that rises and falls like a mourner's shoulders. Bowman's tone is austere yet luminous, tracing the contours of loss with a dignity that never tips into sentimentality—sorrow held at a formal, devastating distance.
