The Magnificat was commissioned by Gabor Hollerung for the Dohnányi Philharmonic Orchestra, after my Saxophone Quartet Concerto had a big success in it's Hungarian premiere.
The lyrics is the original latin Magnificat text. There are beautiful Magnificats, written by Vivaldi, Bach and many more. I just wanted to write something in the language" of today's common people, mixing the traditional symphony orchestra and choir with jazz trio, and giving space for a modern raper narrator.
I had a lot of fun to compose it, and the performances showed that audience enjoys it very much too."
Roland Szentpali, May 2012, Budapest (Hungary).
