Jameson Marvin : Magnificat

Jameson Marvin, through his work with Harvard and Radcliffe, has re-established the importance of teaching polyphony in the modern choral classroom. This beautiful setting of the Magnificat by Palestrina has been editited by Dr. Marvin to accommodate modern notation, clefs and measure lines. He also maintains rhythmic groupings enabling the singers to move beyond the tyranny of the bar line and bring a beautiful and authentic performance to the stage.

Jameson Marvin : Sweet Phoebe

This arrangement of the popular English Folk Song, originally known as Sovay Sovay tells the story of a young woman who takes matters into her own hands in order to find out if the man she loves truly loves her. The character is strong, especially for the 19th century and the music is just as strong and bold. Women will love telling this story and singing this bold and beautiful folk song. Duration: 3:30
