Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis
Composers:- Mathews, Peter
Description:
“Mathews bends the conventional tendencies of tonal harmonic progressions in a way that bears some semblance to Herbert Howells. Whereas Howells indulged in the Impressionistic penchant for whole tone scales to blur the lines of key tonality, Mathews finds inventive ways to move from one key area to another. Some of these shifts are sudden and seemingly unprepared for, yet the clarity of architectural organization confirms the confident hand of a skilled composer as it mitigates the jarring effect of abrupt harmonic changes. The vocal lines throughout are fluid and natural, promoting a legato singing that shapes the musical discourse. Mathews also provides an interesting and fulfilling accompaniment with opportunities to show off a variety of solo sounds from the organ.” -Jason Overal, Association of Anglican Musicians Journal, March-April 2023
