SAB Nunc Dimittis
-
Hello! I am looking for a relatively simple, yet still pleasing, Nunc Dimittis in SAB to sing for Candlemas. Any suggestions?
-
English or Latin?

Either in English or Latin!

Acadia, I just put a wonderful setting by Gumpelzhaimer that I adapted on my site: www.englishmotets.com. It will be under "Mit Fried und Freud."
I've attached the first verse of the SAB edition; if you'd like the rest, you'll have to check out the site. :)

We have used this setting (in full) which includes an approachable but interesting setting of the Nunc. https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/birchington-evening-service-digital-sheet-music/20743593

Scott Villard has a wonderful Mag & Nunc posted at CPDL, with both 3 & 4 part editions. Here are links for the 3-part edition score & a YouTube performance by Matthew Curtis of ChoralTracks. The Nunc dimittis begins at about the 3:15 mark.

Here are arrangements of mine, one in Latin and one in English with the Candlemas Antiphon.

Thank you for all of your suggestions! I will work through them all today; I'm sure at least one of them will be a perfect fit for our group. Richard R.- we were working on your "Come, follow me/Venite post me" from Choral Communio last night for this Sunday. What would I do without you guys?
