Dvorak's 90-minute Stabat Mater received its premiere two days before Christmas of 1880 in Prague. It quickly gained a following not only in Europe but in both England and the USA. The vocal score was prepared by Josef Zubaty for the initial publication and was re-engraved by G. Schirmer in 1897 - which is the basis of the present score. With added measure numbers and rehearsal systems to match the widely available public domain orchestral parts, this large A4 digitally-enhanced reprint is ideal score for vocal soloists, choruses and directors. n
