Magnificat 8. Toni, SSWV 147

Another beautiful Renaissance piece on the versatile Poblet Metzler: Magnificat 8. Toni, SSWV 147 by Samuel Scheidt (baptized 3 November 1587 – died 24 March 1654).

In my edition there are 6 verses, and the 5th verse in 3 variations (5a, 5b and 5c). I decided to play 5a, because I think it's the most interesting one ...

1. Versus "Et exultavit" (00:00), played on the RP plenum, the stronger stops of the Unterwerk and concluded on the Hauptwerk plenum

2. Versus "Quia fecit" (02:18), cf played on the Vox Humana (UW)

3. Versus "Fecit potentium" (03:38), a dialogue between Sesquialter (RP) and the Reeds of the Unterwerk

4. Versus "Esurientes" (04:59), played on the Unterwerk

5. Versus "Sicut locutus" (06:38), played on the HW Plenum, cf in Bass

6. Versus = Chorale (08:34), played on Plena HW, RP and Ped

Enjoy!
