Evening Service in C Minor by George Dyson — Lyrics
;Vulgate
Magnificat, anima mea, Dominum
et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo, salutari meo.

Quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est, et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo,
dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
Deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles;
esurientes implevit bonis et divites dimisit inanes.
Suscepit Israel puerum suum recordatus misericordiæ suæ,

About Evening Service in C Minor
George Dyson's Evening Service in C Minor offers a setting of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis. This work is composed for unison voices, drawing on the rich tradition of Anglican evening canticles. The text begins with the Magnificat, Mary's joyful hymn of praise after the Annunciation, exalting God's mercy and might. The service incorporates both Latin and English, reflecting a liturgical practice that bridges traditions. It is a contemplative and devotional setting, suitable for regular use in services.
