Britten composed his five Canticles between 1947 [1] and 1974. [2] Each one was composed after he completed an opera. [3] They are also all vocal works that include tenor parts written for Peter Pears and set non-biblical religious texts; Britten was the pianist in the premieres of the first four Canticles. [4]
You will have read in the article that all five canticles were written with the tenor voice of Peter Pears in mind. Compare last year's. Not to mention at least the word "tenor", better his name, seems against the composer's sentiments for his beloved. - The article title alone is catchy, no? --Gerda Arendt 22:42, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
The Magnificat (Latin for "[My soul] magnifies [the Lord]") is a canticle, also known as the Song of Mary or Canticle of Mary, and in the Eastern Orthodox Church as the Ode of the Theotokos (Greek: Ἡ ᾨδὴ τῆς Θεοτόκου). Its Western name derives from the incipit of its Latin text.
