Pergolesi's "Stabat Mater"

This quarter in choir we are learning Pergolesi's "Stabat Mater" (the "Stabat Mater Dolorosa" opening  song). It is a gorgeous song and I love the ornaments that the voices include on this duet between a soprano and a countertenor (the first five minutes of this clip):



I think that this will be my favorite song that we learn this quarter.

This is a really beautiful song. Does your choir perform with a real countertenor?
