Pergolesi: Magnificat and Stabat Mater is a recording that came to be as a result of collaborative efforts between two of Fort Worth's premiere performing organizations. Several recordings exist of these two famous works. However, there are no known complete recordings of these works that have been recorded by an all-boys choir, including the solo movements performed by boys, and recorded at Baroque pitch on Baroque instruments. From a performance perspective, this recording attempts to fill all of these parameters. In addition, the inclusion of complementary instrumental selections by Schmelzer and Corelli provide opportunity to record beautiful Baroque works that may be lesser known, but that deserve more recognition and exposure.
