Magnificats Concert 21 March 2026
OLIVER TARNEY MAGNIFICAT
The vocal score for this work will be coming direct from the composer. We are investigating whether it will be possible for members to purchase a copy to keep after our performance.
There is one recording available, on the Convivium label. See Tarney: Magnificat (page 1 of 1) | Presto Music for one source. It is also available on Spotify.
There is a YouTube recording at Magnificat by Oliver Tarney - Sunday 28th September 2025 (Holy Trinity Church, Guildford). Please note that the performance starts about 23 minutes in from the beginning of the video.
There do not appear to be any Rehearsal Aids available.

We will be using the Carl Deis Schirmer edition (1950) of the vocal score. If you wish to purchase a copy, one source for this is Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: Magnificat: (Arr. Carl Deis): Mixed Choir And Accomp. | Musicroom.com
We performed this work at St James' in November 2017. Pam Leaf has a CD recording of our performance, available for £5 on rehearsal evenings.
There are also a number of professional recordings available for download eg at CPE Bach: Magnificat - Harmonia Mundi: HMC902167 - download | Presto Music. It is not easy to find on CD at the moment - try here for a 1966 recording avaialble on Amazon.
