The best part of this movement - IMHO - starts @3:09 and goes to about 4:27. I performed this in Old St. Mary's Church in Greektown in Detroit where the acoustics just bathe you in sound. That passage was stellar.
really beautiful. I love that Rutter's music is always uplifting. Also hints of gregorian chant in here but still manages to weave this in without it feeling orthogonal to the rest of the piece.
@@anitabishop6520 It was a joke :) I don't know Latin. But I used to have a cat called BenediCat because my wife went to LInacre College Oxford and they would say Benedictus Benedicat at formal meal time (i think...)
That’s like when Charles Jennens made a comment to the effect that Handel had made a fine “entertainment” of his Messiah libretto. Handel later remarked,”I’m sorry if I only entertained them. I had hoped to make them better.
I remember singing John Rutter’s Magnificat in high school, but the version we sang was totally different. And I can’t seem to find this version at all on the internet. It starts with a soprano solo and is a capella I believe. The sound is less jubilant and more serious. Anyone know where I could find this version?
Probably you were singing either the fourth movement (Et Misericordia) or the sixth movement ( Esurientes), both of which feature the soprano solo. I doubt a high school choir would attempt the entire Magnificat, as it is nearly 40 minutes long. There are seven movements altogether. Each movement is about 5 minutes long.
Performing this work around 4 years ago as a bass choralist, here in Spain, with the wonderful Magnum Mysterium Choir of Estepona plus the Málaga provincial Youth Orchestra (royalties paid, by the way) was an absolute highlight of my singing career. And I’ve recorded at Air studios and Decca in London in the past. The exuberant harmonic and rhythmic shifts are an absolute joy to perform. There are episodes of both delicateness, such as in the English folk songs, and also whopping full-on power to be found across the various m
..across the various movements. For those who only know Rutter’s Christmas music portfolio, itself great and fun to perform, this full Magnificat takes the Rutter experience to a new celestial level! Hope you agree!
Tensionless maybe-“kinda” Syrupy = That would be “Pure Imagination” Sugary = That would be “When You Wish Upon a Star”. Kitsch = Barry Manilow (most songs). That’s “nice”, more tasteful kitsch, btw. None of these qualities really apply to Rutter, or to this piece…

4:08…. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
今日、初めてコンサートで聴きました。素晴らしかった😍
Super dire que je vais chanter cette chanson en juin avec les petits chanteur de st Thomas d aquin
Genial!
What a great tribute to John Rutter's cat! "Magnificat anima mea" means "Magnificat, my animal", obviously
One of the better comments online. Bravo! Comedic brilliance! (Regardless of whether others get it or not)
The true Latin translation is: “My soul magnifies (The Lord)”= magnifies soul my…(not some animal)…btw, who taught you Latin?

I dare say this is a bop

John Rutter's Requiem maybe?

2019년 성탄절 찬양을 기대하며...
Maybe..... the praise of the Virgin Mary was very cheerful and hopeful...
Luke 1:46-55……”THE MAGNIFICAT”….(Mary’s Song)
Прямо, Бернстайн какой- то,😂😂😂
Tensionless, syrupy, sugary, dripping music ! Kitsch!
It's Rutter. If you want herbs and spices, you've come to the wrong place. I bet they love this on Classic FM.

Syrupy = That would be “Pure Imagination”
Sugary = That would be “When You Wish Upon a Star”.

Просто какая-то Вестсайдская история!😂
Atrocious album art.
