    Magnificat in D Major, BWV

    Johann Sebastian Bach Magnificat in D Major, BWV 243 Magnificat Quia respexit Quia fecit mihi magna Et misericordia eius Fecit potentiam Deposuit potentes Suscepit Israel Gloria patri Sicut erat in principio *** Chorus: S-S-A-T-B Soloists: Soprano 1, soprano 2, alto, tenor, bass Orchestra: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 oboes d'amore, 3 trumpets, timpani, strings, continuo ************************* Program notes by Martin Pearlman Bach, Magnificat, BWV 243 In 1723, for his first Christmas as cantor of the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, Bach presented a newly composed setting of the Magnificat. It was a grand, celebratory work with a five-voice chorus and a colorful variety of instruments, and Bach expanded the Magnificat text itself by interpolating settings of several traditional Christmas songs between movements. This was the original Eb-major version of his Magnificat, and it was Bach's largest such work up to that point. About a decade later, he reworked the piece, lowering the key from Eb to the more conventional trumpet key of D major, altering some of the orchestration, and, perhaps most importantly, removing the Christmas inserts, so that the work could be performed at a variety of festivals during the liturgical year. It is this later D major version of the Magnificat that is normally heard today. Despite its brilliance and grandeur, Bach's Magnificat is a relatively short work. Nonetheless, it is filled with countless fascinating details. The tenor opens his aria Deposuit with a violent descending F# minor scale to depict the text "He hath put down [the mighty]". At the end of the alto aria Esurientes, Bach illustrates the words "He hath sent the rich away empty" by having the solo flutes omit their final note.

  • A Meditative and Musical Guide to by John Rutter

    A Meditative and Musical Guide to by John Rutter

    A Meditative and Musical Guide to Magnificat by John Rutter The Magnificat, the outpouring of spirit that Mary proclaimed when she visited her cousin Elizabeth and shared her news of the miraculous birth of the Messiah, is the quintessential liturgical text for the Advent Season. Mary’s words, patterned closely from those of Hannah as she gave thanks for the birth of her son Samuel (Samuel 2:1-10) and a close parallel to Psalm 113, are at once a joyous outburst of praise and thanksgiving, an expression of humility, a recognition of the glory of God and his mercy for humankind, a strong statement of God’s love for the humble and poor, and news of the fulfillment of God’s promise of a savior. John Rutter characterizes the text as “a canticle of praise, trust, and joy.” Movement 1 – Mary Sings Praises to God (Luke 1:46-48) Magnificat anima mea Dominum: My soul doth magnify the Lord: et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae: For he hath regarded the lowliness of his hand-maiden: ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me generationis. blessed. The first movement is divided into 2 large sections that express contrasting perspectives of Mary’s joy. Rutter looked to the strong musical heritages of Spain and Mexico to derive the rhythmic motors for this joy. The first section begins with an orchestral fanfare that sets the stage for the clearly joyful, festive text of the first part of Mary’s Song.

    Summer Concert Saturday 15th June 2019, 7.00pm St Marks Church, Primrose Hill London The Royal Free Music Society would like to thank their loyal Patrons: Adrian Cahill, Billy Elkins, Patsy Henley and David Gluckman Welcome Welcome and thank you for coming to support us at our Summer 2019 concert. We are delighted to be joined by a French choir, Groupe Vocal Antara, who welcomed us in Paris in December 2017. Antara specialise in singing Latin American songs, of which they will be singing a selection this evening. The Royal Free Music Society will be performing a mix of early and much more recent English music. The two choirs will then join together to sing a piece in French and a piece in English. We would like to thank our musical director, Benjamin Wolf, for his dedication and guidance while teaching us this lovely repertoire; our exceptional accompanist, Gill Cracknell, for all her skills in supporting each and all of the voice parts during rehearsals; and, of course, St. Mark’s Church and the Reverend Matt Harbage for allowing us to sing in this beautiful venue. We would also like to thank Ce sar Alzamora, Antara’s musical director, Gala Libercier, their Chair, and Antara’s singers for coming to sing with us here in Primrose Hill. Finally, thanks to the twin sisters, Sophie Jackson and Laurence Mengin, who worked hard to bring their choirs together for this concert. Please note our future concert dates which are listed in the programme and, if you would like to join the choir, we are always delighted to welcome new members.

  • A Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols

    A Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols

    A FESTIVAL OF NINE LESSONS & CAROLS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2013 S T . P A U L ’ S E PISCOPAL C HURCH F AIRFIELD , C ONNECTICUT 2 ELCOME TO THIS SERVICE , which anticipates the great feast of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The liturgy of Lessons and Carols was first used in the chapel of King’s WCollege, Cambridge, on Christmas Eve, 1918, with the candle-lit splendor of the chapel, the prayers and scripture readings, the great hymns and the soaring music of the choir and organ standing in eloquent contrast to the darkness of a cold winter night and the tragic shadows of the recently concluded Great War. The intervening years have seen the worldwide broadcast of this service become a much beloved Christmas tradition. As in 1918, we in our own day turn again to these sacred words and songs in a world troubled by war, natural disaster, violence, and economic uncertainty. Tonight’s service is offered in the spirit of that first service at King’s, as a light shining in the darkness; with fervent prayer for peace, goodwill and understanding among all people rising amidst the strains of glorious hymns and carols. Although much of the music at this service is sung by the choir, the congregation plays a central role. Please listen intently, pray and sing with your heart and voice, as indicated below. Again, welcome ! Of course, a major part of this service involves the joining together of everyone in making a joyful noise to the Lord. Should your child be further inspired to the making of extended joyful noise while others are trying to listen, we do ask that you escort your little one to the gathering area or outside for a brief moment or two until he or she becomes more contemplative.
