Magnificat

Zelenka Magnificat in D Forbes L?Estrange Magnificat Rutter Magnificat To round off the 2023-24 season, Streatham Choral performs Magnificats by Zelenka, Forbes L?Estrange and Rutter at St Leonard?s Church. Jan Dizmas Zelenka is a Bohemian composer of the late 17th / early 18th centuries, much respected by his contemporaries including J S Bach. His Magnificat is an upbeat Baroque piece with some distinctive crunchy harmonies. Joanna Forbes L?Estrange is a contemporary English singer and composer. The Magnficat is taken from her King?s College Service of 2019. It is a simple and moving setting. Rutter?s setting is particularly uplifting and is in both Latin and English. The work evokes the Virgin Mary with energetic rhythms and strong, fun melodies.
