Purcell: Z 231/2. Nunc dimittis (Evening Service in G minor) - Preston

Evening Service in G minor, Z 231 2. Nunc dimittis (Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace), also known as 'the Song of Simeon' Canticle for soloists (SSAATB) and chorus (SATB) Text: Luke, II, 29-32 in 'The Holy Bible' (1611) Music: Henry Purcell (1659-1695) ___ Gloria (Glory be to the Father) Hymn for soloists (SATB) and chorus (SATB) Text: Minor Doxology in 'The Book of Common Prayer' (1662) Music: Thomas Roseingrave (1688-1766) ___ Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, conducted by Simon Preston Francis Grier, organ Recorded in November 1980 Pitch: A = 466 Hz ___ This evening service (composed of a Magnificat and a Nunc dimittis, both ending with a Gloria) only survives in 18th-century manuscripts, and its ascription to Henry Purcell has sometimes been questioned. In the sources and in the Purcell Society Edition, the Nunc dimittis is followed with a Gloria composed by Thomas Roseingrave, although Purcell probably intended the Gloria to the Magnificat to be repeated after the Nunc dimittis. Sources: Magnificat Gloria I Nunc dimittis Gloria II (by Roseingrave) Probable original plan: Magnificat Gloria I Nunc dimittis Gloria I (reprise) Roseingrave's Gloria, composed much later and in a different style, does not follow the same scheme in the verse sections as Purcell, who alternates trios (SSA and ATB). I decided to include it in this video to be comprehensive, but I would recommend to ignore it in performance, and to repeat the first Gloria instead. Marc D.
