Angelo Comisso
About the composer
Angelo Comisso was born in 1970, in Italy. He studied Classical Piano and Composition at the conservatory of Venice. He also did studies in jazz and played jazz at an early age with jazz musicians of international standing such as Gianluigi Trovesi, Roberto Ottaviano, Gianni Basso. Angelo Comisso is a frequent guest at radio and tv stations in Italy and Europe as a solo artist or with his ensemble. He has performed in many important Jazz Festivals all over the world. Since 2003 he has been playing regularly with the German trumpeter and composer Markus Stockhausen. Together they play in duo and or in trio with Christian Thomé on drums (Lichtblick Trio). The music is close to jazz and improvised music but has the ability to amaze and conquer even an audience more oriented towards classical or contemporary music.
About the Stabat Mater
Date: | 2009 |
Performers: | Three-parts women’s chamber choir, Piano, electronics, trumpet, drums |
Length: | 49.59 minutes |
Particulars: | Though I am not a real Jazz-fan, I love It, because of the trumpet and piano solo’s and improvisations . And the womens’s choir is great! I contacted Mr. Angelo Comisso about his Stabat and he told me he wanted to compose his Stabat Mater as a tribute to all mothers in the world, to reflect the pain of a mother losing her son. Every day and in every corner of the world we have “Stabat Maters”, grieving for the loss of their children. |
Textual variations: | Angelo Comisso did not only use the Stabat Mater text. Part 7 is titled Nell’apparir del sempiterno sole composed by Francesco Soto de Langa (16th century) and rearranged by Comisso Stabat Mater. I did some research and I think it is a Christmas song. It is an Italian text, this the translation in English: At the appearance of the eternal sun That at midnight stronger shines around Than the other can do at midday. The angels in the sky sang Glory Then towards the humble city of Bethlehem |
