A new premium product is available from Carus: with Vocal scores XL important choral works are now offered in reader-friendly large print. Choral singers can enjoy the clear-to-read music text and high-quality presentation of Carus vocal scores in larger print. The music paper also contributes to their excellent legibility. Vocal scores XL will help all choral singers who find reading small-sized notes and text tiring, and will contribute to relaxed singing.
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.
