Description:
The Virgin Mary’s sense of awe and elation are revealed in this passionate setting of the Magnificat, taken from Luke 1. A mixture of major and minor modes tinged with blues harmonies highlights the mixture of emotions that surely must have inspired Mary’s declaration of rejoicing and exaltation. Both choir and soloist are given opportunities to shine as they sing.
