Files "cleaned" originally

Henry Purcell

Magnificat & Nunc Dimittis in G minor

You can freely and lawfully download a printable score for this Work from IMSLP Petrucci Music Library - though it may not be exactly the same as the one used to make the Midi Files below, and it probably won't be as good as a proper paid-for engraved and printed score.

There is an excellent performance of this Work by the Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, conducted by Simon Preston on YouTube starting here.

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work (note that, because the "Solo" parts can be sung by a Semi-Chorus, I have, unusually, provided emphasised Files for them, too). Note also that Files were originally prepared from the Barenreiter version of the Work, in which the "Nunc dimittis" has a long "Glory", but that the OUP version of the "Nunc dimittis" has the same short "Glory" as the Magnificat, and this is given below as an "alternative" version.

That's the end of the Work.

And if something doesn't work properly, please let me know (see the "Comments" section of my Homepage).
