Song Of Mary

With "Song Of Mary (A Metrical Setting Of The Magnificat)", Oxford University Press presents an expressive and wonderfully accessible composition for mixed choir (SATB) and organ. This sensitive metrical setting of the traditional Canticle of Mary combines melodic grace with profound sonic grandeur. For particularly festive occasions, the performance can be enhanced with an optional brass quintet (2 trumpets, horn, 2 trombones), giving the work a resplendent and celebratory brilliance (instrumental material available on request). Whether performed in liturgical services, during the Advent and Christmas seasons, or in sacred choral concerts, this versatile piece will deeply move both singers and audiences alike, making it a valuable addition to any choral library.
