In the 1740s, Bach, in an act of admiration and creativity, took the score of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, composed in 1736, and transformed it, adding his own voice. Thus, he created a new and original version for which he used a German paraphrase of Psalm 51 as the text: “Tilge, Höchste, meine Sünden” (Blot out, O Most High, my sins).
