It is the composer's first extant major choral composition. == History == In Leipzig, where the composer grew up, the Magnificat was regularly part of Sunday services, sung in German on ordinary Sundays but more elaborately and in Latin on the high holidays (Christmas, Easter and Pentecost) and on the three Marian feasts Annunciation, Visitation and Purification. When J. S. Bach's setting of the Magnificat was first performed on 2 July 1723, the boy was nine years old, ten years later his father transposed it to D major and performed it again. C. P. E. Bach set the text in the same key as the later version, formally as a cantata, in 1749 in Berlin, where he was a harpsichordist at the court of Frederick the Great. Some sources assume that Bach composed the piece to apply for the title of ''Hofkapellmeister'' at the court of Amalie, the king's sister, others suggest that he composed it to apply for his father's post as Thomaskantor in Leipzig. Another suggested possibility, a composition intended for a memorial concert for his father for which every composing son wished to supply a piece worthy of him ("seiner würdig"), seems less likely as the father was still alive when the piece was composed. John Butt notes that the Amen fugue of the Magnificat shows similarities to parts of the Mass in B minor, the ''Gratias'' from the Missa and the ''Ex expecto from the Symbolum Nicenum. The composer chose the work to conclude a charity concert which he conducted in Hamburg in 1786 for the ''Medizinisches Armeninstitut''. The concert began with the Credo from his father's Mass in B minor, followed by two excerpts from Handel's Messiah, the ''Hallelujah Chorus'' and the aria ''I know that my redeemer liveth'', both sung in German. Magnificat was published in 1829 by N. Simrock in Bonn. It is the composer's first extant major choral composition. The canticle ラテン語:Magnificat was often set to music in short works for liturgical use, being a regular part of Catholic vespers and Anglican evensong. This work is an extended setting, along with his father's setting and the Magnificat by John Rutter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Magnificat (C. P. E. Bach)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
