Composed in 2015, Stabat Mater was commissioned by the Genesis Foundation for Harry Christophers and The Sixteen. Scored for mixed chorus and string orchestra it is a long-awaited sequel to the early masterpiece Seven Last Words from the Cross (1993), for the same forces; indeed, the later work begins with the pianissimo dying breaths' with which the earlier score so unforgettably closes. Cast in four movements Stabat Mater has a duration of 53 minutes. Following the première London's Financial Times commented that the composer speaks of a painful world of loss, violence, and spiritual desolation' []. Both sides of MacMillan are to be found here, the devotional and the painter of bold, dramatic canvases the former in the ethereal writing for solo and ensemble voices, the latter in the lacerating blows and feverish anxieties depicted in the string ensemble.

Composé en 2015, le Stabat Mater a été commandé par la Genesis Foundation pour Harry Christophers et The Sixteen. Avec son orchestration pour chur mixte et orchestre à cordes, l'uvre est la continuation tant attendue du chef d'uvre de MacMillan Seven Last Words from the Cross (1993), composé pour la même configuration. Le Stabat Mater commence effectivement par le pianissimo d'un souffle qui s'éteint, avec lequel la première uvre se clôt d'une manière si inoubliable. Divisé en quatre parties, le Stabat Mater a une durée totale de 53 minutes.
