J S Bach: Magnificat in D Major, BVW 243
J S Bach: Cantata: Gloria in excelsis Deo, BWV 191
Bach’s Magnificat is one of his most popular vocal works and was his first major work with a Latin text, while Cantata 191 is the only one of his cantatas that has a Latin text. It may sound familiar, since the three movements all derive from the Gloria of an earlier mass, which Bach later used as the Gloria of his Mass in B minor.
Henry Purcell: Come ye sons of Art P
Purcell’s final Birthday Ode to Queen Mary and the one with the countertenor duet - Sound the trumpet.
Antonio Vivaldi: Dixit Dominus RV 595
One of three known settings, this is the “di Praga” one, rediscovered in the late 1960s.
