Entry by Koha.

"Via Crucis" is a masterly musical piece that focuses on The Way of the Cross. The deep piety behind this work is transmitted with an economy of notes that nevertheless are mingled in some startling harmonies.

Pergolesi’s "Stabat mater" is a transcendently beautiful and deeply personal musical meditation on suffering and redemption, written by the 26-year-old composer as he himself lay dying.
