In 2010 Bernstein's MASS, in 2011 Handel's Theodora, in 2012 Brahms Requiem and in 2013 Verdi's Missa di Requiem. In 2013: Dvorak's STABAT FOOD! Illuminated and visualized performance of Dvorak's profound work in Johanneskirken. Dvorak's STABAT MATER can be described as a large-scale, vocal-symphonic cantata, composed in 1877. The work has been created in a shadow of grief, as the composer in the past lost his children in illness or accident. The text is the old Catholic sequence from the 14th century, and which is an interpretation of Mary's 7 sorrows. These have largely been interpreted in visual art and sculpture over the centuries, while music history can to a lesser extent present works related to this textual basis. However, many know i.a. Pergolesi's work over the same text, but Dvorak writes in a completely different tradition, and paints with a much wider brush tonally. He created a work with symphonic dimensions in the classical sense, but with a Slavic feel that was continued, among other things. by Janaceck.
