A Bluegrass Magnificat - "My Soul Magnifies the Lord" from Angel Band

This piece grew out of the co-creators' love for the tunes and texts of the Appalachian Mountains and the shape-note and early Moravin singing tradition. In the words of Tim Sharp, "We took the image of bands of angels singing and playing at the Nativity as reported in the second chapter of Luke's gospel, transported that image to Appalachia, and Angel Band is the result." This is one movement from that work.
