In Milan, where he now teaches, Ivan Fedele (born in 1953) studied music and philosophy in parallel. A world premiere, his Stabat Mater, unsurprisingly, uses a moaning and plaintive song that ends with exclusively female voices accompanied by a gong. Throughout the piece, the percussion will be muffled (timpani, bass drum, marimba), brightened up by a few metallic accents (tubular bells).
