for SSATB, two violins, cello, bass, and chamber organ
A splendid curtain-raiser to the ever-popular Vivaldi Gloria, Durante's Magnificat, long mistakenly attributed to Pergolesi, is presented here in its original five-voice scoring. With his blend of the strict contrapuntal stile antico with more modern galant influences, Durante gained a high reputation as a master of sacred style. Performance of this work with keyboard accompaniment alone is not practicable, but where no orchestra is available, it is highly
effective to perform the piece with two solo violins and chamber organ, plus cello if available.
