Charles Maxtone-Smith plays Magnificat primi toni (BuxWV 203) – Dieterich Buxtehude
Charles Maxtone-Smith plays Magnificat primi toni (BuxWV 203) by Dieterich Buxtehude. This piece is unusual among Buxtehude’s organ works in that it is neither entirely free nor based on a chorale melody, but is built on a plainchant formula, namely the Magnificat solemn tone of Mode I, often known as the Dorian mode. The alternation of free sections (stylus phantasticus) and fugues (using the plainchant formula) allows the performer to explore a range of colour on the Ruffatti organ of Buckfast Abbey.

To finish, the organ proffers a full stop comprising a paschal bonfire of prominent reeds. This canticle from the Bo...
