Lyrics:

Magnificat anima mea Dominum,
et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.

Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae.
Ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.

Quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est, et sanctum nomen eius.

Et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.

Fecit potentiam in brachio suo,
dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
Deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles.

Esurientes implevit bonis et divites dimisit inanes.

Suscepit Israel puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae suae.
Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semini eius in saecula. Amen.

(Lc 1.46-55)

Excerpt of the programma:

„We bedanken ook graag componist Carsten Braun, voor zijn prachtige compositie. de melodie van zijn wondermooie Magnificat zat snel in ons hoofd, maar het veranderende ritme en de talrijke modulaties zorgden ervoor dat we ons geen minuut verveelden tijdens de repetities.“

„We also like to thank composer Carsten Braun for his beautiful composition. the melody of his wonderful Magnificat was quickly in our head, but the changing rhythm and the numerous modulations made sure that we were not bored for a minute during the rehearsals.“

„Wir danken auch dem Komponisten Carsten Braun für seine prächtige Komposition. Die Melodie seines wundervollen Magnificat war schnell in unserem Kopf, aber der wechselnde Rhythmus und die zahlreichen Modulationen sorgten dafür, dass wir uns während der Proben keine Minute langweilten.“
