Product details
The Magnificat Project was a Millennium project set up to
commission women composers. The text of the Magnificat itself
has, of course, been set by many composers over the centuries and
is regularly sung in church services. It displays a unique
combination of the human joy of a young woman who finds that she
is nurturing a new life, with the religious fervour of someone
who finds she has gained a new insight into the nature of God. It
is usually allied in services with the Nunc Dimittis - the song
of an old man. This demonstrates a balance of experience within
the service.
However, most settings of both texts have traditionally been made
by male composers. The Magnificat Project has been designed to
redress the balance and allow women's voices to be heard
reflected through and around these wonderful texts.
