Osbert Parsley's "Magnificat." 1511-1585, a Tudor musician, was reared in the choir at Norwich Cathedral. As such, he was familiar with Latin Masses. But, he, like others, had to turn his hand to the English Prayer Book. The choir of the Southwell Tudor Music Course 2010 perform Alistair Dixon's reconstruction of Osbert Parsley's "Magnificat" from the Evening Canticles of the Book of Common Prayer.
Luke 1.46ff.
Μεγαλύνει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν Κύριονκαὶ ἠγαλλίασεν τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ τῷ σωτῆρί μου,ὅτι ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τῆς δούλης αυτοῦ.ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν μακαριοῦσίν με πᾶσαι αἱ γενεαί,ὅτι ἐποίησέν μοι μεγάλα ὁ δυνατός,καὶ ἅγιον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ,καὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰς καὶ γενεὰςτοῖς φοβουμένοις αυτόν.Ἐποίησεν κράτος ἐν βραχίονι αὐτοῦ,διεσκόρπισεν ὑπερηφάνους διανοίᾳ καρδίας αὐτῶν·καθεῖλεν δυνάστας ἀπὸ θρόνωνκαὶ ὕψωσεν ταπεινούς,πεινῶντας ἐνέπλησεν ἀγαθῶνκαὶ πλουτοῦντας ἐξαπέστειλεν κενούς.ἀντελάβετο Ἰσραὴλ παιδὸς αὐτοῦ,μνησθῆναι ἐλέους,καθὼς ἐλάλησεν πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶντῷ Αβραὰμ. καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
Magnificat anima mea Dominum,et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salvatore meo, quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae. Ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes, quia fecit mihi magna,qui potens est, et sanctum nomen eius,et misericordia eius in progenies et progeniestimentibus eum. Fecit potentiam in brachio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui; deposuit potentes de sedeet exaltavit humiles; esurientes implevit boniset divites dimisit inanes. Suscepit Israel puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae, sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semini eius in saecula.
My soul doth magnify the Lord : and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded : the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold, from henceforth : all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me : and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on them that fear him : throughout all generations. He hath shewed strength with his arm : he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat : and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things : and the rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel : as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.
Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
