About
In the Lutheran church tradition, Christmas verses were often added to the Magnificat. This is the case with the works of the Leipzig composers Johann Kuhnau and Johann Sebastian Bach. It is thanks to Bach that a copy of Antonio Caldara’s Magnificat has come down to us – proof that Bach was a keen student of his Italian colleagues. Bach never had the opportunity to visit what was then the modern nation of music, Italy. Heinrich Schütz, on the other hand, the first really significant Lutheran composer prior to Bach, was able to study Italian music south of the Alps. He wrote his Magnificat in the Venetian style in a glorious polychoral setting.
Franz Schubert’s early masses and the Magnificat he wrote at 19 were performed at church services in Vienna’s suburbs and were among his early successes, inspired by direct liturgical demand. England’s Ralph Vaughan Williams gave the female voice special recognition with his 1932 version of the biblical Virgin’s song with a female choir and alto soloist, while Krzysztof Penderecki’s Magnificat was commissioned to mark the 1200th anniversary of Salzburg Cathedral. Penderecki, who also made a name for himself as the composer of a St Luke Passion, thereby laid the foundation stone for a new age of spirituality on which some of his contemporaries were to base their own works – such as the Estonian Arvo Pärt with his minimalist style and British-born John Tavener, many of whose works were modelled on musical examples from the Greek Orthodox church.
