about

The first two tracks of this CD are Evensong Canticles (Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis) for six part choir (men's voices version followed by the mixed voice version)
based on melodies from Solomons' setting of a chapter from Winnie the Pooh.
(The original "Poohratorio" with A A Milne's words is due for publication in 2031 when Milne comes into the public domain).
The composition follows the old tradition of setting church music to popular songs, although the system is reversed here since the original Poohratorio
will - potentially - become known somewhat later!

lyrics

Magnificat
My soul doth magnify the Lord :
and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded :
the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold, from henceforth :
all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me :
and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him :
throughout all generations.
He hath shewed strength with his arm :
he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat :
and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things :
and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel :
as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.

Glory Be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.

Nunc Dimittis
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace :
according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen :
thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared :
before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles :
and to be the glory of thy people Israel.

Glory Be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
