Magnificat, Wq. 215 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .C. P. E. Bach (1714-1788)

1. Chor
Magnificat anima mea Dominum
Et exsultavit spiritus meus
in Deo salutari meo.

2. Arie (Sopran)
Quia respexit humilitatem
ancillæ suæ: ecce enim ex
hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.

3. Arie (Tenor)
Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est:
et sanctum nomen ejus.

4. Chor
Et misericordia ejus a progenie
in progenies timentibus eum.

5. Arie (Baß)
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo;
dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.

6. Duett (Alt und Tenor)
Deposuit potentes de sede,
et exaltavit humiles.
Esurientes implevit bonis:
et divites dimisit inanes.

7. Arie (Alt)
Suscepit Israel puerum suum,
recordatus misericordiæ suæ,
sicut locutus est ad patres nostros,
Abraham et semini eius in sæcula.

8. Chor
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.

9. Chor
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc et semper,
et in secula seculorum. Amen.


1. Chorus
My soul doth magnify the Lord,
And my spirit hath rejoiced
in God my Saviour.

2. Aria (soprano)
For he hath regarded the low estate
of his handmaiden: for behold, from henceforth
all generations shall call me blessed.

3. Aria (tenor)
For he that is mighty hath done to me great things;
and holy is his name.

4. Chorus
And his mercy is on them that fear him
from generation to generation.

5. Aria (bass)
He hath showed the strength of his arm; he hath
scattered the proud, even the arrogant of heart.

6. Duet (alto & tenor)
He hath deposed the mighty from their seats,
and hath exalted those of low degree.
He hath filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he hath sent away empty.

7. Aria (alto)
He hath holpen his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,
as he hath promised to our forefathers,
to Abraham and to his progeny forever.

8. Chorus
Glory be to the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit.

9. Chorus
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall
be, world without end. Amen.
