Reformed Churchmen: Magnificat in B flat and in A Major

Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month.

Magnificat in B flat and in A Major - Stanford

Ever timeless and musically meritorious, as the Canticle of Praise for Evensong or Evening Prayer. We bring two renderings of the Magnificat by Stanford. For 25 Aug 2010, we rejoice over the (Archbishop Prophet) Jeremiah's release from Nebuchadnezzar in Jeremiah 39, the lection this day from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. The judgments of His Majesty were executed on Jerusalem, Judah, Zedekiah the King, Zedekiah's sons, and the entire court of nobles, advisors, and military men. It was the "shakedown," the "getting rolled over," by the Sovereign LORD of Israel.
