Thanks to the exceptional imagery of its text, the Magnificat, the Canticle of Mary from the New Testament that forms part of evening prayer, belonged to the liturgical texts most often set to music in the early modern period. Of these compositions, the seventeen-voice setting by Andreas Hofer, Hofkapellmeister<\/em> in Salzburg, numbers among those reflecting the tradition established by Giovanni Gabrieli and Claudio Monteverdi of multi-chorus settings for voices and instruments. Indeed, in its dramatic-acoustic use of a large church venue with several organs and galleries, Hofer\u2019s composition shows the astonishing parallels between the model of Saint Mark\u2019s Basilica in Venice and the Salzburg cathedral. The work begins with a brief sonata whose alternation of lines between a five-voice choir of cornetts and trombones and a five-voice string ensemble makes for a splendid opening. Following an intonation by the tenor, a dense ensemble sound comprising all eight vocal parts and all instruments evolves that transforms the joyous \u201cEt exultavit spiritus meus\u201d into an ascending, spoken gesture. In the constant series of soloistic sections and tutti sections that are at times compact and syllabic and at times broken into short phrases, Hofer effectively portrays every verse of the Marian canticum ere the efficient setting climaxes in a richly figured, freely polyphonic ending.<\/p>\n

Magnificat anima mea Dominum.
\nMeine Seele erhebet den Herrn<\/em><\/p>\n

Et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.
\nund mein Geist freuet sich in Gott, meinem Heiland;<\/em><\/p>\n

Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae;
\necce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
\ndenn er hat die Niedrigkeit seiner Magd angesehen.<\/em>
\nSiehe, von nun an werden mich selig preisen alle Kindeskinder;<\/em><\/p>\n

Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est, et sanctum nomen eius.
\ndenn er hat gro\u00dfe Dinge an mir getan, der da ma\u0308chtig ist und des Name heilig ist.<\/em><\/p>\n

Et misericordia a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.
\nUnd seine Barmherzigkeit wa\u0308hret immer fu\u0308r und fu\u0308r bei denen, die ihn fu\u0308rchten.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fecit potentiam in brachio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
\nEr u\u0308bet Gewalt mit seinem Arm und zerstreut, die hoffa\u0308rtig sind in ihres Herzens Sinn.<\/em><\/p>\n

Deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles.
\nEr stu\u0308rzte die Gewaltigen von ihrem Thron und erho\u0308hte die Niedrigen.<\/em><\/p>\n

Esurientes implevit bonis et divites dimisit inanes.
\nSuscepit Israel puerum suum recordatus misericordiae suae.
\nDie Hungrigen fu\u0308llte er mit Gu\u0308tern und lie\u00df die Reichen leer ausgehen.<\/em>
\nEr denkt der Barmherzigkeit und hilft seinem Diener Israel wieder auf,<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Sicut locutus est ad Patres nostros, Abraham et semini eius in saecula.
\nwie er geredet hat unsern Va\u0308tern, Abraham und seinem Samen ewiglich.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.
\nSicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in saecula saeculorum.
\nAmen.
\nEhre sei dem Vater, Ehre dem Sohn und Ehre dem Heiligen Geist,<\/em>
\nwie es war im Anfang, jetzt und immerdar und von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit. <\/em>
\nAmen.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
