Grand Magnificat in C by Vincent Francis Novello — Lyrics
;Vulgate
Magnificat, anima mea, Dominum
et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo, salutari meo.
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillæ suæ:
ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
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 Grand Magnificat in C
Vincent Francis Novello's Grand Magnificat in C sets the traditional Latin text of the Magnificat, the hymn of the Virgin Mary. This setting for SATB choir captures the text's powerful expression of praise and wonder at God's intervention. The music reflects the jubilant and humble sentiments of Mary's song, from her exultation in God her Saviour to her recognition of God's mercy and might in uplifting the lowly and humbling the proud. A celebration of divine faithfulness, this piece is ideal for services of Evening Canticles, bringing a profound and uplifting experience to the choir and congregation alike.
