[From the opening words, L. stabat mater dolorosa, ‘Stood the mother, full of grief’.]
A sequence, composed by Jacobus de Benedictis in the 13th c., in commemoration of the sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Also a musical setting of this sequence.
There are other sequences beginning with the same words: ‘Stabat mater regis nostri’ (13–14th c.), ‘Stabat mater anxiata’ (1519), ‘Stabat mater speciosa’ (late 15th c.). None of these are in regular liturgical use, but some of them have well-known musical settings.
