Programme Note
SIC Choir of the Earth is delighted to invite absolutely everybody to our concert performance of the wonderful Magnificat: a short (12 minute) yet wonderful choral masterpiece with a confusing heritage.
Often attributed to Pergolesi, the Magnificat was actually composed by his teacher, Durante. Durante’s Magnificat in B flat major is undoubtedly one of his most important compositions and one of the most significant settings of this text in cantata form. It masterfully combines the traditional polyphonic notation with modern, early Classical elements.
Our performance features Recordare Chamber Choir and will be conducted live by Harry Bradford. It was recorded and mixed entirely in isolation - no-one met during its production.
There is no charge to attend this short concert.
