In this Magnificat, taken from a collection containing four-choir music for Vespers published in Venice in 1612, Viadana took an approach which was unusual at that time: the Magnificat is divided into 11 short movements like a cantata. The movements are structured with contrast clearly in mind. Viadana exploits not only the varied possibilities of the large vocal and instrumental forces to the full, but also presents a wide range of styles - from duet to four-choir tutti, from falsobordone to expressive madrigalian style. The work displays Viadana's knowledge as well as his admiration of the church music of Monteverdi in many ways. Viadana's printed edition of the Vespers of 1612 made a great impression on Michael Praetorius. Both Viadana's handling of the instruments and his treatment of the tutti choirs had a considerable influence on the works of Praetorius and other German masters.

C. P. E. Bach's nine-movement Magnificat (1749), the first great vocal work from his Berlin years, is among the most magnificent sounding, in which the solo vocal parts are also among the most ambitious settings of the Hymn to the Virgin Mary (Luke 1). The work fulfills all the criteria required for a larger sacred composition: grandeur, dignity, polyphonic and concertante choral movements, sensitive (empfindsam) and expressive arias, a long concluding double fugue. This richly scored Magnificat (with 3 trumpets and timp. ad. lib.), which is almost one hour in duration, would be well suited, for example, as the central work on every Christmas or pre-Christmas concert programme.

Georg Philipp Telemann has long been perceived as a composer of sacred music, and particularly of the German-language church cantata. However, in the course of his long life he also composed church works setting Latin texts. In addition to works for smaller ensembles there is presently only one larger psalm setting, Deus judicium tuum, that is available in a new edition. This is now joined by the first ever scholarly, critical edition of his Magnificat in C major. Telemann probably composed this impressive work for the dedication of the organ in the Leipzig Neukirche in 1704. Like Bach's well-known Magnificat, it is scored for three trumpets and timpani. For ambitious church choirs, the work is really worthwhile, and is also a most effective piece for audiences to enjoy. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3914300.

This cycle contains Aller Augen warten auf dich, Herre SWV 429, one of the composer's most popular vocal works. The twelve four-part motet-style settings published in 1657 demonstrate all the attributes of his mature style, using simple homophonic settings as effectively as demanding polyphony. They represent something of a counterpart to the 1648 Geistliche Chormusik, but here, Schutz paid greater attention to practical use in church services and to the training of the Dresden choirboys.

This selection enables unjustly neglected church choral music of the Cecilian Movement to be restored to use. The texts, all in Latin, reflect the Cecilian epoch from its beginnings in the early 19th century to the 20th century, and the generally easily performable nature of the music recommends it for use during church services. This choir book, representing the most important composers of the Cecilian Movement, provides a very valuable survey of the Cecilian repertoire.

Henry du Mont was a musician at the court of the French King Louis XIV. The present work was probably performed in 1663 in the presence of the king, who also ensured that it was printed in 1686. The piece is a Grant Motet, a motet for double-choir that, next to the mass, formed an important class of French church music at that time. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2100500.

As one of the three canticles from the New Testament, the Magnificat - the Canticle of Mary - has at all times held a prominent position in church music. Telemann's setting of Luther's German translation of the text bears eloquent witness both to the composer's rich imagination and to his ability to mold a variety of musical shapes into a coherent formal Baroque architecture. Four solo movements with colorfully contrasting instrumentation are juxtaposed with four emphatically homogeneous choral movements; all of the latter are in 6/8 meter and in motet setting with instruments doubling colla parte. Particularly the choral movements are characterized by lively text portrayal and a wealth of at times dramatic imagery. A work of exceptional magnetism for both listeners and choir singers!
