Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in E Flat - Paperback

About the author

Michael Wise sang as a child in the choir of the Chapel Royal and served as a countertenor in St George's Chapel, Windsor. He was appointed Organist and Choirmaster at Salisbury Cathedral, then, in 1676, became a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal and, in the last year of his life, held the post of Master of the Children at St Paul's Cathedral. He is best known for his anthems and service settings but also wrote some catches and other secular songs.

Summary

for SATB and organThe second of the Society's Restoration Canticles series, this new edition of Wise's much-loved setting incorporates the rests between sections which appear in some sources. These are shown as options, and lead to a more spacious performance.

Additional text

This is a four-part setting for SATB and organ with verse sections that are as simple as the full ones, and I imagine very pleasing to sing and hear.
