In the 15th century it was used as a sequence in connection with the new mass of the compassion of the Virgin Mary and became an official part of the Roman liturgy in 1727.Picturing the darkest hour in the passion story the poet poignantlydescribes Mary the mother of Christ broken by suffering weepingat the foot of the cross.The setting by Pergolesi composed in Naples Italy shortly before hisdeath from tuberculosis at the young age of 26 is recognized as amasterpiece.
