Rating Review
Customer Rating Howells completed the Gloucester Service at a time of great personal unrest and could maybe account for the more elegiac nature of this divine canticle setting. Moments of quite trancendental stature are achieved in the delicacy of acoustic writing and the restraint of inevitable climaxes. Most striking is the sumptuous explosion of a treble top 'A' from the meandering tenor entry in the lesser doxologies. This is quite magical music and maybe one of the very great Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis settings.

Customer Rating This is glorious music. The opening of the Magnificat, with its interweaving soprano lines, is breathtakingly delicate. But everyone gets plenty of great lines to sing, and the sum of them is greater than the parts.
