In a new setting of the Magnificat, American composer Taylor Scott Davis adds a new second movement with text by Dr Terry York that reflects "how Mary may have felt when she received the news that she was to be the mother of Christ." From the 2023 album "A Choral Christmas" by the British vocal ensemble Voces8, this new Magnificat is today's Midday Masterpiece.
