- Description : The choir of St Paul's Cathedral si...(more)ng Charles Viliers Stanford's setting of the Magnificat in C. I am uploading this as I cannot find Stanford in C anywhere on Youtube and it certainly deserves to be.
The Magnificat is of course the song that the Virgin Mary sang after she was told by the Angel Gabriel that she was the chosen one to give birth to the Son of God.
And so she sang :-
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 showed 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. (less)
