Event information

Zelenka Magnificat in D
Forbes L’Estrange Magnificat
Rutter Magnificat

To round off the 2023-24 season, Streatham Choral performs Magnificats by Zelenka, Forbes L’Estrange and Rutter at St Leonard’s Church.

Jan Dizmas Zelenka is a Bohemian composer of the late 17th / early 18th centuries, much respected by his contemporaries including J S Bach. His Magnificat is an upbeat Baroque piece with some distinctive crunchy harmonies.

Joanna Forbes L’Estrange is a contemporary English singer and composer. The Magnficat is taken from her King’s College Service of 2019. It is a simple and moving setting.

Rutter’s setting is particularly uplifting and is in both Latin and English. The work evokes the Virgin Mary with energetic rhythms and strong, fun melodies.
