Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in E minor - null

♪

"From pp. 95-100 of A New Set of Psalm Tunes and Anthems (William Bennett). In that source, the Magnificat is printed on pp95-98, including the concluding doxology: the Nunc Dimittis is printed without doxology, on pp. 99-100, followed by a note 'Glory Patri as Magnificat'. "Country Choirs" is a term often used to mean choirs in parish churches and proprietary chapels, as yet without an organ installed. Other instruments were employed instead (particularly 'cello or bassoon to reinforce the bass). Bennett has provided sufficient clues (cues) to indicate that he intended a bass instrument to be employed in this piece. The editorial keyboard reduction should be used only for practice, and not performance. If a bass instrument is available, there are short sections in which the Bass singers should remain silent; at those places the underlay is written in parentheses []."
