Description

The premiere of Christopher Muscat's Stabat Mater and its subsequent release on CD in 2013 were met with exceptional critical and public acclaim. The Times of Malta described this as a work that "impresses with its freshness, its blend of spiritualism, religious symbolism and a high degree of emotion" while the prestigious music magazine TEMPO dubbed it "a monumental work." Ten years from its first performance as a result of it being awarded the first prize in the APS Bank Composition Competition, Muscat's Stabat Mater will be once again performed, this time in the awe inspiring surroundings of the St John Co-Cathedral in Valletta with the participation of Caroline Bruker (soprano), Josef Bugeja (cantor), Jubilate Deo Choir, Kor Malta and the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of the composer. This concert is being produced by RIDT with intention to raise funds for medical research. 

 
 
 
Meta l-iStabat Mater ta’ Christopher Muscat indaqqet għall-ewwel darba, u meta ħarġet is-CD fl-2013, ix-xogħol intlaqa’ b’akklamazzjoni kbira. It-Times of Malta iddeskrivietu bħala xogħol li ‘jimpressjona bil-freskezza tiegħu u bit-taħlita ta’ spiritwalita, simboliżmu reliġjuż u l-emozzjonijiet għolja tiegħu’, filwaqt illi ir-rivista mużikali prestiġġjuża TEMPO sejħitlu ‘xogħol monumentali’. Għaxar snin wara l-ewwel esekuzzjoni tiegħu, wara li kien rebaħ l-ewwel premju f’kompetizzjoni tal-APS Bank, l-iStabat Mater ta’ Muscat se terġa tittella’, din id-darba fl-ispazju majestuż tal-Kon Katidral ta’ San Ġwann fil-Belt Valletta. Ix-xogħol se jittella’ bil-parteċipazzjoni ta’ Caroline Bruker (soprano), Josef Bugeja (cantor), il-Kor Jubilate Deo, Kor Malta u l-Orkestra Filarmonika ta’ Malta, taħt id-direzzjoni tal-kompożitur innifsu. Il-kunċert qed jittella’ mill-Fond tar-Riċerka tal-Università ta’ Malta (RIDT) bl-iskop li jinġabru fondi għar-riċerka medika.
