Welcome to world premiere of "Dolor Matris" in Estonia concert hall, Tallin, thursday 23th march at 19:00! Performers are The Estonian National Male Choir conducted by Mikk Üleoja, with Iris Oja singing the mezzo-soprano part.
The medieval hymn «Stabat Mater» describes Mary’s suffering under the cross during her son’s crucifixion. By adding other texts from the Bible and medieval prayers, I have tried to widen up the perspective; from Mary’s sorrow and pain to all mother’s grief when loosing a child or seeing their sons suffering. This is why I changed the title to Dolor Matris, meaning “The mothers suffering”.
During the period of creation in 2022, my composition turned out to be dedicated to all mothers suffering for blessed and lost sons in occupation and war.
