Preceding
Johann Sebastian Bach,
Charpentier is the most
important master who
turned to setting the
Hymn to the Virgin Mary,
the Magnificat. No less
than ten works, in
differing vocal and
instrumental scoring and
form comprise this genre.
In the present Magnificat
H 78 for five voices (in
which alto and bass also
have solo roles), two
flutes, strings and basso
continuo, each of the
individual movements
contains its own
expressive profile in
sound. The work was
composed around 1690 for
the Jesuits in Paris.
