Arvo Pärt: Magnificat - The Erebus Ensemble [live]

at the Clifton International Festival of Music.
Written in 1989.
The Song of Mary. Translation:
My soul glorifies the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour.
He looks on his servant in her lowliness;
henceforth all ages will call me blessed.
The Almighty works marvels for me.
Holy his name!
His mercy is from age to age,
on those who fear him.
He puts forth his arm in strength
and scatters the proud-hearted.
He casts the mighty from their thrones
and raises the lowly.
He fills the starving with good things,
sends the rich away empty.
He protects Israel, his servant,
remembering his mercy,
the mercy promised to our fathers,
to Abraham and his sons for ever.
My soul glorifies the Lord.

beautifully sung, given this small number of people.... loving the tenor..... God bless the ensemble, together with Arvo Part....... u make my days ;-*

Great performance. The small forces enable one to pick out the parts clearly. Admirable precision in timing, pitching and enunciation. Singers' individual tones are enviable! As a bass, I'm particularly impressed by the second bass here. The group produces a calm, intense spirituality.

Such presence and beautiful resonance and tone for a small choir. Simply brilliant. I have major respect for Tom Williams. An amazing conductor. Great job to the singers.
