Magnificat & Nunc dimittis in E flat (Edward Bairstow) - Guildford Cathedral Choir (Barry Rose)

Guildford Cathedral Choir, directed by Barry Rose:
Evensong at Guildford Cathedral, 23 November 1970:
(Sir Edward Bairstow was Organist and Choirmaster at York Minster from 1913 until his death in 1946. His Evening Service in E flat for trebles was published in 1923)
My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him, throughout all generations.
He hath shewed strength with his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.
GLORIA
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people.
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
GLORIA

🎼 I am listening to this music (& Anthem Lights)
in the background, while watching the movie,
"Hacksaw Ridge" for the first time. What a great combination ! 🙌😇
May all those who served and currently serve in battles against evil be anointed with the Holy Spirit !
Thank you God, The Creator for anointing
and blessing Mr. Rose and his choir with the Holy Spirit and the great artistic gifts that express and share God's love, mercy, grace and power.
