A Magnificat is a canticle, a Latin word that means “magnify,” and in this context “My soul magnifies the Lord.” It is also known as the Song of Mary, because this portion of scriptures taken for hymns is of Mary praising the Lord.
On March 17, 15 choirs from across the country join to perform a program of seven works centered around the theme of Saint Mary. The concert will be held at Carnegie Hall.
