Magnificat overflows with "...warmly compassionate music, which positively glows with its soaring, beautifully arched melodic lines..." according to an April 2015 review in "Gramophone" magazine. The talented Norwegian composer created this fabulous forty-minute masterpiece to proclaim one of the Bible's greatest wonders: the angel Gabriel visiting Mary. The work portrays the wonder, devotion, gratitude, joy, humility, hope, and compassion that Mary may have felt.
