description Magnificat (Rutter) Overview

John Rutter's Magnificat is a large-scale sacred choral work composed in 1990. The composition sets the traditional biblical Magnificat text for soprano soloist, mixed chorus, and full orchestra. Rutter infuses the work with his characteristically accessible melodic style, incorporating elements of Latin American rhythms and jazz-influenced harmonies, particularly in the energetic "Et exsultavit spiritus meus." The piece is widely performed by both professional and amateur choral societies, offering a vibrant, modern alternative to traditional classical settings of the same text.
