Description
for soprano or mezzo-soprano solo, SATB chorus and either orchestra or chamber ensemble
Magnificat is a joyous celebration of the Virgin Mary, inspired by feast-day festivities in countries such as Spain, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Following the example set by Bach, the Magnificat text is extended, incorporating the fifteenth-century English poem 'Of a Rose', the prayers 'Sancta Maria' and the 'Sanctus' (set to the Gregorian chant of the Missa cum jubilo).
Minimum recommended string forces for the chamber ensemble are 2.2.2.1.1.
