    Although there might not be many here that sing in or direct a women's choir, but for those wo are, my new three part Magnificat might be of interest. I have made a video with score underlaid (sung by Julie Gaulcke, accompanied by me) and the sheet music is available from my website.

    I had written this piece for the "Music Award for Choral Music" presented by edition49 and Musikwerkstatt Siegburg, where it was awarded a shared third place out of approximately 300 submissions from 19 countries, which is quite a honor for me.

    Its very nice, but note that some of the accents on the latin words are incorrect. For example "Divites" is not di-VI-tes, but DI-vi-tes or another example "Spirituo" in the Doxology has should have the accent on spi-RI-tu-o, not SPIR-i-tu-o... these are of course common mistakes world wide- and its just nitpicking.... but it is very nice, very medieval flavor.
