Magnificat and Nunc dimittis

Written for the Houston Children's Chorus, this spirited Mag and Nunc are thematically related despite their varying moods (Resolute, Comforting, Energetic). The difficulty level comes from the contemporary but tonal harmonic language, florid lines, and precise rhythms. The organ punctuates and supports throughout. Largely in unison, with some two-part passages and a final chord in three parts.
