Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in D. Mark Liversidge. A cappella. Sacred , Evening Canticles. Language. English. SSAATTBB.

Original

In looking for a celebration piece to mark my fortieth birthday, and also to practice my own compositional skills, there seemed no better option than writing my own version of the Magnificat. I have dedicated the piece to my wife, Ellie, in grateful thanks for everything she has done for me in the last thirteen years. I have chosen more modern words as I feel the world probably has enough settings to Book Of Common Prayer words. The words themselves are taken from Common Worship, and if reproducing the words for any order of service the copyright for those words, indicated in the footer of the score,.
