Summary of This Score

This edition offers the 2nd version in D major of the Magnificat, enriched with four inserted movements ("Einlagesätze") taken from the E-flat major version and transposed. Designed as an Urtext score based on the Neue Bach-Ausgabe, it is intended for musicians seeking a rigorous working source, useful both in rehearsal and concert preparation.

The table of contents follows the complete architecture of the work: 12 movements (from the initial "Magnificat" to the final "Gloria Patri"), offering a very clear dramatic and liturgical progression. The appendix then gathers the four insertions: A "Vom Himmel hoch", B "Freut euch und jubiliert", C "Gloria in excelsis Deo", and D "Virga Jesse floruit". This division facilitates the choice of a "standard" program in D major or a version including the insertions, notably in a Christmas concert context.

The forces include vocal soloists (two sopranos, alto, tenor, bass), a mixed SSATB choir, and an orchestra comprising flutes, oboes/oboes d'amore, trumpets, timpani, strings, and basso continuo. The edition is edited by Alfred Dürr and is presented in a stapled binding, practical for use at the music stand.
