Stanford students discover an 18th-century music treasure in Green Library

How fascinating!! This article tells of the first performance in over 300 years of Durante's edition of the Stabat Mater.

There have been many editions of it by Palestrina, Monteverdi, and Haydn. It was performed on Thursday February 26 at Memorial church.

This is very historic because Durante was very very popular during his time, yet his student, Pergolesi, was the one whose Stabat Mater gained popularity.
