Well-known for his magnificent instrumental works and violin sonatas, Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber is unjustly less recognized as a composer of sacred music. His works for Salzburg Cathedral were mainly written after 1670. The Stabat Mater is an impressive setting for use in worship, and includes four or six verses of the hymn. The four-part composition displays great simplicity yet stunning beauty, particularly in the concise contrapuntal presentation of each individual verse. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2729200.
