The Magnificat of Mary, a work composed by Amy Barlowe for the tenth anniversary of the Akron Baroque, is a musical setting of the passage from the Gospel of Luke, where Mary responds to the Angel Gabriel’s announcement that she is to become pregnant with Jesus. Persistent rhythmic motives function as musical symbolism. It premiered on June 5, 2016, Marie Bucoy-Calavan conducting. This month marks the eighth anniversary of the occasion.
