This Magnificat was commissioned by Cantores of Dunedin, and has been performed frequently by them in church settings. It is a simple setting of the old text, with references to old-style Gregorian chant, intergrated with modern harmonies.
It was originally scored for male voice choir, with trebles and male altos, but works well with womens voices.
It is dedicated to my mother, who died in 2001.
