Pergolesi wrote sacred music, including a Mass in F and his Magnificat in C major. It is his Stabat Mater (1736), however, for male soprano, male alto, string orchestra and basso continuo, which is his best known sacred work. It was commissioned by the Confraternità dei Cavalieri di San Luigi di Palazzo--not an order of monks, as previously stated on this page and erroneously reprinted on hundreds of other pages--but rather a group of pious and charitable gentlemen such as existed in cities all over Italy. It was this group that presented an annual Good Friday meditation in honor of the Virgin Mary; Pergolesi's work replaced one composed for the same forces by Alessandro Scarlatti only nine years before, but which was already perceived as "old-fashioned," so rapidly had public tastes changed.

The Scarlatti work, more than Pergolesi's, is full of quasi-operatic devices -- pregnant pauses, dissonant "sighs," and, in the final "Amen," some heady vocal acrobatics. In this performance everything is kept to a very quiet level, which may seem inappropriate to Scarlatti's basically theatrical language.
