Downing Service (Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis)

for SATB and organ This is Chilcott's first setting of the Evening Service (in English), written for the Choir of Downing College, Cambridge. The Magnificat is a powerful setting of the Canticle of Mary, with homophonic textures and strong harmonies, while the Nunc Dimittis is expressive and poignant. A long-awaited addition to the Evensong repertory!
