Instrumental Music (Pergolesi, Giovanni Battista//Complete Works: Opere Complete) - Pendragon Press
It is not surprising, considering Pergolesi's extraordinary posthumous fame and the demand for his music in the latter half of the eighteenth century, that most of the instrumental works published and performed at the time under his name were by other composers and written after his death. Actually, only 5 of 63 independent instrumental attributions are undoubtedly authentic, and they are presented here: Sinfonia a Violoncello Solo (F major); Sonata [harpsichord] (A major); Sonata per organo (F major); Sonata di Violino e Basso (G major); and Concerto di Violino Solo con piú Strumenti (B-flat major). The introduction (by the editor, Marvin E. Paymer) lists all instrumental works, including spurious and doubtful ones, as well as adaptations.

Stabat Mater in Full Score - Dover Publications
Considered by many Pergolesi’s greatest work, the Stabat Mater is a setting of a medieval Latin poem about the sorrows of the Virgin Mary at Christ’s crucifixion. Scored for soprano, alto and strings, it is music of transcendent beauty and poignancy. A staple of the repertoire, this Italian Baroque masterpiece is reproduced here in an inexpensive, authoritative edition. Text and English translation.<br>
