List of Magnificat composers

Last updated

The Magnificat, in Latin also canticum Beat(issim)ae Virginis Mariae (the song of the (most) Blessed Virgin Mary), is a common part of Christian worship, for instance traditionally included in vespers, evensong or matins. [1] [2] As such it is often sung and was set to music by various composers.

Magnificat in Gregorian chant Magnificat.png
Magnificat in Gregorian chant

In Gregorian chant the Magnificat is sung according to the eight traditional psalm tones:

Composers, or collections of compositions, referring to or using all eight of the traditional Gregorian psalm tone settings of the Magnificat include the Choirbook, D-Ju MS 20 (various composers), the sixteen Magnificats by Palestrina, the Enchiridion utriusque musicae practicae by Georg Rhau, and Johann Pachelbel's Magnificat fugues . [3]

Also the newer psalm tones were used for Magnificat settings:

Apart from the Magnificat sung to the psalm tones, in Gregorian chant there are also the Magnificat antiphons or O Antiphons inspiring composers like Arvo Pärt.

In seventeenth century polyphony no other religious text, apart from the Mass Ordinary, was set more often than the Magnificat. Often only six out of twelve verses of the Magnificat were set in polyphony, performance alternating verses sung in polyphony and verses sung in monody according to the church tone. In such alternatim settings the even verses were chosen more often for setting in polyphony, because they contained the last verse of the doxology, so that the singing of the Magnificat ended with a piece in polyphony. [5]

Odd versesEven verses
1. ( Luke1:46 )Magnificat
anima mea Dominum.		2. ( Luke1:47 )Et exultavit spiritus meus
in Deo salutari meo.
3. ( Luke1:48 )Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae
ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.		4. ( Luke1:49 )Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est
et sanctum nomen ejus.
5. ( Luke1:50 )Et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies
timentibus eum.		6. ( Luke1:51 )Fecit potentiam in brachio suo
dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
7. ( Luke1:52 )Deposuit potentes de sede
et exaltavit humiles.		8. ( Luke1:53 )Esurientes implevit bonis
et divites dimisit inanes.
9. ( Luke1:54 )Suscepit Israel puerum suum
recordatus misericordiae suae.		10. ( Luke1:55 )Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros
Abraham et semini ejus in saecula.
11. (doxology)Gloria Patri, et Filio
et Spiritui Sancto.		12. (doxology)Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper
et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Examples of such settings include the sixteen Magnificat settings by Cristóbal de Morales: half of these include only the odd verses ("anima mea" settings), the others only the even verses ("Et exultavit" settings) – both series of eight settings by Morales have one setting per traditional church tone.

Bars 10-13 of Jean Titelouze's second setting of Deposuit potentes from Magnificat primi toni. The subject of this inversion fugue is highlighted with shades of blue. Titelouze-magnificat1toni-deposuit2-10-13.gif
Bars 10–13 of Jean Titelouze's second setting of Deposuit potentes from Magnificat primi toni. The subject of this inversion fugue is highlighted with shades of blue.

From around 1600 such Magnificats are also composed for the organ, e.g. Jean Titelouze's 1626 Le Magnificat ou Cantique de la Vierge pour toucher sur l'orgue suivant les huit tons de l'Église (odd versets).

In the Baroque era the "cantata form" for religious compositions originated in Italy: like masses in the Neapolitan style, Magnificats could be set as a succession of self-contained sections in a variety of styles, choruses alternating with arias for solo singers. [6] [7] [8] Francesco Durante's 1752 Magnificat in A minor is an example of a composition in this style.

In Anglicanism a Magnificat is usually combined with a Nunc dimittis in an (Evening) Service, in which case the English translation of the text ("My soul doth magnify the Lord") is used. For example, Orlando Gibbons composed such Services. In Orthodox Christianity the Magnificat, or "Song of the Theotokos", is sung in the Orthros (matins) as part of the Canon. All-night vigils include the Orthros, and a setting of such vigil thus usually includes the setting of a Magnificat, e.g. the "Canticle of the Theotokos" («Величитъ душа моя Господа», Velichit dusha moya Gospoda, "My soul doth magnify the Lord"), No. 13 in Tchaikovsky's All-Night Vigil.
