About

The text of the Magnificat appears in St. Luke’s Gospel as the “Song in praise of Mary”. The Magnificat is particularly popular in the context of the liberation theology of Latin America, above all because here God is hailed as the champion of justice and freedom. Thus St Luke’s Gospel begins with a highly political text which has not lost its cutting edge to this day.
 
Schonherr reflects the significance that these words have in Latin American theology by incorporating a samba rhythm in the Gloria in his version of the Magnificat. The simultaneous use of Latin and English words reflects the great age of this story, but one which has not lost its potency, so the composition also includes music in the rock and jazz idiom.
