Robert Parsons (1530-72), First Great Service: Magnificat
Voces Cantabiles, Barnaby Smith conducting
MY soule doth magnifie the lorde. And my spirite hath rejoyced in God my savioure. For he hathe regarded the lowelinesse of hys handemaiden. For beholde, from henceforth all generacions shal cal me blessed. For he that is mightye hath magnified me, and holy is his name. And his mercie is on them that feare him throughoute all generacions. He hath shewed strength with his arme, he hath scatered the proude in the imaginacion of their hartes. He hath put down the mightie from their seate : and hath exalted the humble and meeke. He hathe filled the hungrye, with good thynges: and the riche he hath sente awaye emptye. He remembring his mercie. hath holpen his servaunt Israel : as he promised to oure fathers, Abraham and his seede for ever. Glory be to the father and to the sonne and to the holy gost. As it was in the beginning, & is now, and ever shall be worlde without ende. Amen.
