pia Mater cum videbat
nati poenas incliti.
The three-line verse from Enrico Onofri's "Allegro in 2-3" is a Latin hymn mostly known as "Stabat Mater Dolorosa." It's an emotional piece that talks about the pain of the mother watching her child go through agony. The verse translates to "The grieving, weeping mother, stood beside the cross while watching her glorious son in anguish." It's a reference to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, whose son was crucified.
The violin and orchestra's performance in Allegro in 2-3 is lively and sprightly and invokes a feeling of joy and celebration. However, the lyrics add a contrast to the background music with its sorrowful and mournful tone. It's a perfect example of the technique of "pathos" in music, where the words and the melody's mood give off mixed emotions that evoke a powerful reaction from the listener.
