Herbert Howells’ Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis (Collegium Regale), for SATB and Organ accompaniment, is a vibrant sacred work with beautiful voicings and a wonderful effervescence.

This is rich and colourful church music with integrity– he has successfully brought together Tudor church music, and merged it with modern harmony and counterpoint. It is this best-of-both-world’s feature that makes Howell’s version of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis a pleasing one, and it is dedicated to King's College, Cambridge.
