A Bluegrass Magnificat

Featuring an accompanying bluegrass ensemble, this energetic setting of the traditional text is one movement from a larger work, Angel Band, which features tunes and texts of the Appalachian Mountains and the shape-note and early Moravian singing tradition. In the co-creators' words, "We took the image of bands of angels singing and playing at the Nativity as reported in the second chapter of Luke's gospel, and transported that image to Appalachia." Youth and adults will enjoy presenting this fresh look at the age-old text. Instrumental parts available for rental.
