General Information

Composer: Oliver Barton

Number of voices: 4vv   Voicing: SATB
, Choral soprano solo
Genre: SacredEvening Canticles

Language: English

Description: The Magnificat opens with the organ holding a very high G rather annoyingly. The choir sing Magnificat anima mea Dominum repetitively against this until a pedal G lends reassurance and the high G ends, leaving an atmosphere of comfort and relief. The mezzo solo sings the English words passionately, alternating with and fusing in and out of the choir. And so on...

I have also made an unaccompanied version of the Magnificat, and added a Nunc dimittis.
