The Stabat Mater the contemporary Karl Jenkins is a work for choir and orchestra. It combines classic with modern sounds, is emphasized strongly rhythmic and tears the listener from the stool. It is listed in Germany still little. In Munich, for example, the premiere is coming on 17 March-2013. A special feature is that although most of the parts have Latin text, but there are also parts English and oriental-inspired pieces that should be sung by Arab or Turkish soloists. Overall, an exciting work.
