František Tůma - Stabat Mater

[@Dbenenenenett]

Fantastic as always. I'm not knowledgeable on the harmonic and melodic language of this period, but the tenor intro in II looks to be exactly what Mozart would later use for his world-famous Lacrimosa, crazy how even for what could well be an inspiration or origin of an idea in such a famous piece, I'm only discovering the connection years later. Thanks for the many gems from this period, my musical knowledge and experiences are far richer for your incredible efforts!

Thank you for your appreciation! Another Tůma's work (his Miserere) is now online. :)

Another gem! Love the harmonic language!

[@Nooticus]

So many Central European baroque composers are so unknown and underrated its sad! Thanks to channels like yours, they are becoming more known!

Stunning counterpoint in the final movement!!

​@@NooticusTuma had the good sense here to lighten the texture frequently from 4 voices to 3 what makes for a more natural and transparent listening. Constant 4 voice counterpoint often gives the contrary effect of moving blocks of harmony.

More than transcendental!!!!

[@christianwouters6764]

Very interesting. And certainly way better harmony and counterpoint than the Pergolesi version.

[@Mercer1012]

Having thicker counterpoint and harmony doesn't make it "superior". There's a reason Pergolesi's Stabat Mater was so popular around Europe, his was more balanced regarding melody, counterpoint, and harmony. Tuma is very heavy on the harmony and counterpoint but weak on the melody.
