Magnificat (parts)

Antonio Vivaldi?s Magnificat in G minor has come down to us in two conflicting versions. The earlier one probably the original version (RV 610) is dominated by impressive but largely straightforward choral passages set against a few brief vocal ensembles manageable by soloists from the choir.In the later version (RV 611) the solo parts and one chorus are replaced by demanding virtuoso arias. Andreas Köhs arrangement for soloists chorus and organ allows performers to choose between these two versions and is equally suitable for use in church and concert hall.Standard repertoire work easy to performIndependent version for soloists (RV 610: SSAT;RV 611: SA) chorus (SATB) and organClear and well presented organ partSuitable for use in church and concert hallDuration: ca. 15 minutes (RV 610) or 20 minutes (RV 611)The Bärenreiter Choir & Organ Series presents great choral works in arrangements for soloists choir and organ; no orchestra is needed.The original orchestral parts have been transcribed into easy-to-play organ reductions whereby the contemporary tradition of such arrangements has been taken into consideration.

You need only one edition for soloists singers and organist alike.

B-Dur-Francesco Durante's Magnificat in B flat major is one of his most important works and also one of the most siginifcant settings of the Magnficat text here in cantata form. This work displays a mastery of the polyhonic style and though the use of certain pre-classical 'modern' elements its various forms never sound archaic rather the work presents a synthesis leading to a unique style. For a performance during the Christmas season Christmas hymns can be inserted between each of the individual movements. Six arrangements of such hymns are also available as octavos (Carus 10.270/06): - Johann Crüger: Nun komm der Heiden Heiland - Cornelius Freundt: Wie schön singt unsder Engel Schar - Johann Sebastian Bach: Uns ist ein Kindlein heut geborn - Erhard Bodenschatz: Joseph lieder Joseph mein - Johann Crüger: Fröhlich soll mein Herze springen - Gregor Joseph Werner: Der Tag der ist so freudenreich The string parts for these movements are included in the parts Carus 10.270/11-14.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach wrote his first great vocal composition the Magnificat in 1749 at the age of 35. It bears all the earmarks of “audition music” i.e. a piece that organists and choir directors had to submit when applying for a new position. This feature is especially evident in its stylistic variety which makes the work a rewarding and colorful challenge for all church choirs. Special attractions are the work's contrapuntal passages which are very similiar in sound and structure to those of J. S. Bach’s B minor Mass. The present arrangement for soloists chorus and organ is intended as a self contained version accessible to a widerange of choirs even those with limited financial means. - Self contained version for soloists (SATB) chorus (SATB) and organ - Ideal for use in church and concert hall - Clear and well presented organ part - Duration: ca. 40 minutes The Bärenreiter CHOIR&ORGAN Series presents great choral works in arrangements for soloists choir and organ; no orchestra is needed.

Full Score-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 fifteenth-century English poem 'Of a Rose' the prayers 'Sancta Maria' and the 'Sanctus' (set to the Gregorian chant of the Missa cum jubilo).

Herbert Sumsion (1899-1995) was a highly skilled organist and conductor who began his musical life as a chorister under Brewer at Gloucester. After Brewer’s death he returned as organist to Gloucester and spent nearly 40 years there. Through the Three Choirs Festival he built close and fruitful relationships with composers such as Elgar Vaughan Williams Holst Finzi and Howells. As one would expect from a cathedral musician of such standing Sumsion’s contribution to the Anglican repertoire was immense. While not as well-known as his Full-Choir setting his arrangement of the Magnificat And Nunc Dimittis In G for Boy’s Voicesis a valuable addition to any choir’s library. It is scored for two Soprano or Treble parts with an Organ accompaniment although the second voice part is optional.
