Stabat Mater dolorosa
O quam tristis et afflicta
Quis est homo qui non fleret
Quis non posset contristari
Pro peccatis suae gentis
Vidit suum dulcem natum
Eja Mater, fons amoris
Sancta Mater, istud agas
Fac me vere tecum flere
Virgo virginum praeclara
Flammis orci ne succendar
Fac me curce custodiri
Quando corpus morietur
Paradisi gloria

At a later performance of this work, probably in 1803, Haydn attempted to accommodate the intervening changes in musical taste. According to the composer's request and under his supervision, Sigismund Neukomm enlarged the wind orchestration by adding a flute, two clarinets, two bassoons, two French horns, trumpets and timpani.
