Paul Mealor

Stabat Mater

With his deeply moving 'Stabat Mater', acclaimed British composer Paul Mealor has created a modern masterpiece of sacred choral music. Setting the ancient hymn on the suffering of Mary, Mealor’s distinctive musical language reveals an emotional depth of rare intensity, seamlessly blending warm, meditative harmonies with powerful, poignant climaxes. This full score, published by Novello Publishing, features the expressive setting for solo soprano, mixed choir (SATB), strings, and harp (or piano). Delicate solo lines and rich choral textures merge with shimmering string accompaniment to create an unforgettable musical and spiritual experience. An exceptional addition to the repertoire for ambitious choirs, church musicians, and conductors—ideally suited for Passiontide and evocative sacred concert programmes.
