Description:
With "Magnificat+", the Swedish composer Mårten Jansson adds a new addition to Johann Sebastian Bach's Magnificat in D major BWV 243. It consists of four movements that are inserted in Bach's Magnificat at the points where the Christmas movements are heard in the original.
Based on texts by the American poet Charles Anthony Silvestri, Jansson's music unfolds a delightful contrast to Bach's work and at the same time creates a clear musical connection to the original. The solo sopranos in movements A, B and C add a more personal level to the Magnificat text; movement D is designed for choir a cappella. Since the texts – unlike the original interludes – have no Christmas reference, "Magnificat+" can be performed at any time of the year.
