Prepared from the composer’s autograph manuscript, Brian Newbould’s authoritative new performing edition of Franz Schubert’s celebratory Magnificat (D.486), arranged for an accompanied SATB choir and soli, brings this little-known masterpiece to light. A short, perfectly crafted setting, written by the young composer in 1815, it provides the ideal concert opener or partner to other more extended concert works.

 

Composed by: Franz Schubert
