It is also known as the Canticle of Mary in the Liturgy of the Hours, a special collection of scripture readings, psalms, and hymns that constitute what is known as the prayer of the church

Magnificat is written for SATB chorus with piano accompaniment. This meditative setting of this text, is perfectly suited for the more advanced ensemble. The unison melodic passages create a sense of simplicity, meditativeness and contemplation. Whilst the colourful chordal structures in the work, found both in the chorus and the accompaniment, creates the majesty and showcase any ensembles ability.
