Additional info/contents	Magnificat comprises seven movements of John Rutter's setting of the biblical canticle "Magnificat", completed in 1990. Rutter was inspired by "jubilant celebrations of Mary in Hispanic cultures" and conceived the work as a "bright Latin-flavoured fiesta". In countries such as Spain, Mexico and Puerto Rico, feast days of the Virgin are joyous opportunities to take to the streets and celebrate with singing, dancing and processions. This arrangement for combined Concert Band and Chorus may also be performed by band alone, and is a faithful representation of the original composition. This file contains all seven movements, separately. If combined, the score alone would comprise 154 pages. The arranger felt that it would be easier to maintain the movements separately rather than all together. The score and parts of each movement are also available separately. Optional choir score available here.
