An intimate performance of a seminal work for Lent.
Pergolesi’s seminal Stabat Mater has become a treasured staple among Italian works for the lenten season. TENET offers an intimate, one to a part performance for singers, string quartet and continuo. TENET explores florid sonatas by Isabella Leonarda, who lived and composed one generation before Pergolesi from the convent, and whose works show the depth and versatility of her creative genius.
PROGRAM
Isabella Leonarda:
Venite laetantes, Ave suavis dilectio, Sonatas Seconda, Quarta, & Nona from Op. 16
Giovanni Battista Pergolesi:
Stabat Mater Dolorosa

The Community of St. John Baptist, originally founded in England in 1852, has been in Mendham, New Jersey since the early 1900’s. Most of the Sisters of the Community of St. John Baptist are trained spiritual directors, engaging in a variety of charitable works and facilitating spiritual guidance for all faiths. The main convent in Mendham, New Jersey includes several different structures. The Convent building was built as the Mother House in 1913, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. The architects designed a stunning Tudor Revival building to perfectly complement the Retreat House, which had been built in the same style a few years prior. Read more
