Composed by Philip Le Bas. Praise & Worship,Sacred. Octavo. 7 pages. Philip Le Bas #3619921. Published by Philip Le Bas (A0.818166).The "Nunc Dimittis" is sung at every choral Evensong or Vespers, as the words of the prophet Simeon (Luke 2:29-32) on seeing the child Jesus in the Temple at Jerusalem. Here the canticle is set in English ("Lord, now your servant depart in peace") for SATB choir and organ.
It has a grand opening in D minor ("My eyes have seen your light"), followed by the main canticle text set in a rich D flat major tune. The opening theme returns towards the end, and the piece finishes with a glorious "Glory be to the Father... Amen."
The canticle would also be particularly appropriate at Candlemas celebrations, as well as at services expressing "letting go..." Its partner "Magnificat" by the same composer is also available in SheetMusicDirect and Sheet MusicPlus.
