Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in D

Herbert Brewer's Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in D is a setting of the traditional Evening Canticles for SATB choir. Written in English, this sacred work is a staple of Anglican church music, often programmed for Evensong. Brewer, a notable organist and composer of church music, crafts a setting that is both grand and accessible. The music effectively conveys the devotional character of the texts, with soaring lines for the choir and supportive organ accompaniment. This is a substantial and rewarding setting of the canticles, suitable for choirs looking to expand their repertoire of English evening service music.
