Thomas Attwood Walmisley's Magnificat in D minor. Sung by the choir of St. Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, NY. www.saintthomaschurch.org/Stre... Score from cpdl.org
hi, yes the file was recorded of the webcast, I use a programme like camstudio to record screen activity with sound and then use an audio extraction software like AOA audio extractor to get the MP3 out, quality is obviously not as good as CD but it gets the job done.
No. US choirs typically do the straight text. Some places get permission to do the entire service in 1662, e.g. Incarnation in Dallas, the only church in North Texas with weekly Evensong.
Lol they have good voices as the director of music John Scott comes from England. He was previously at St paul's Cathedral London before coming to St thomas Fifth Avenue.
It's a great performance. I just find it lacking in subtlety a bit, and in particular in that rich operatic sound of the basses--just a little oversung to my mind.
This is my favorite version of the Magnificat!
Absolutely terrific!
I remember singing this in Carlisle cathedral for eveningsong. That was fun :D
One of my favourites
Wonderful performance!!
Goose bumps! Sang this as a Chorister (1963 - 1971) at Leeds Parish Church UK. Nice rendition, well done.
0:32 thank you, I sang on that choir
Incredible.

@morphthing1, I'll be downloading AOA soon. thanks again.
Amazing performance! I wonder who the one loser is who voted thumbs down on this video. What a sad soul they must be.
1:20 hi sang in the fire
henceforth: From this instant/moment on.

No video? I'm here watching it now with audio...Must be an error on your computer.
Is the "Hence[forth - sung by one lonely voice?]" to do with differences between the BCP and whatever the Episcopal Church in America uses?

Awful vibratto
While I am no fan of religion in any way, this piece is really impressive and very well sung, too.

'Hence[forth]' is an overdone feminine ending :-D Nice to hear it from an American choir, but a bit over the top here...
Well, I'm assuming this is from John Scott's tenure . . . .
A tad self-conscious!
@@Ken_oh545 ultra camp!
Why so much vibrato in the men's voices . :/
They sound like angry Policeman.
I'm no fan of operatic-style vibrato in Anglican choral singing, but I didn't really notice it here, so in my view it wasn't particularly excessive.
go to lpool cathedral well better than this
im a chorister on cantores there
