...the organ part for this is a right bugger to play!

@Amy5155 I did the solo when I was a boy, It was my favourite piece then and ill never forget it. I can remember how excited i was to finally get to perform the solo i'd heard older kids sing year after year. I hope it went well for you!

@joeyboi87 It's tricky to sing along too, the time signature is tricky, its tempting to get ahead of time!

I remember singing the soprano soloist part for this, great fun

I sang the alto part when I was 14, and then did the tenor and bass in subsequent years, but haven't sung it since I was 18. Lovely to hear it again, and thank you for posting.

This is one of the best versions of magnificat. Stanford really wrote a masterpiece. I was so lucky to be together with the st Johns college choir in december 2010. They are absolutely the best choir in the World and this recording is just another proof.
