THE STABAT MATER.
The Writer of the Poem and Its Setting
to Music

The author of the noble hymn, the Stabat
| Mater, WAS Giacomo Bendetti. born at Tobi,
Italy, in the thirteenth century, of a
| wealthy and noble family. He was grad
uate of the University of Bologna and
adopted the profession of law in his native
town, where his rank and attachments
speedily brought him fame. He was happi-
ly married, but his wife was killed by the
collapse of tleater while she was attend
ing ball there and active participant i'll
the gayety Of 1he scene. This tragic death
SO overwhelmed him that he gave up his
profession. broke up all his worldly friend
ships and devoted himself to religious med-
tation. His mind centered upon his own
grief, he sought relief in the contemplation
Of the sacred story Of the passion and
under that influence wrote the poem which
kas been consecrated TO religious worship
during the seven succeeding centuries He
Joined the Franciscan Order at this time
and severely rcprobated the abuses existing
among the recreant followers of the church.
For his he fell under temporary ecclesiast
cal dspieasure and suffered Imprisonment,
Released from imprisonment he resumed
his religious life and eied at an advanced
age on Christmas day, 1905.
| TIE poem has been favorite for COM
ppsers from the day of Pergoiesi to this
time, but none has attained the fame of the
composition of Ross:ni While this has
| been criticised as overoperatic for sacred
purposes yet perhaps that element is due
more to the Italian feeling finding expression
in these feryid musical strains than to any
want of deep religious emotion. 1t is GER
tain that the solos and choruscS of this work
have appealed TO the religious feeling Of
Christians ever since the composition first
was heard.

always been. one of the puzzles of musical
history to account for this sudden cessa-
