Magnificat anima mea
Of a Rose, a lovely Rose
Quia fecit mihi magna
Et misericordia
Fecit potentiam
Esurientes
Gloria Patri
John Rutter's 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 15th-century English poem 'Of a Rose', the prayers 'Sancta Maria', and the 'Sanctus' (set to the Gregorian chant of the Missa cum jubilo). The full scores are presented in handsome, cloth-bound editions.
