#882: My Soul Does Magnify the Lord
Jun. 14th, 2021 10:47 pmPretty literal paraphrase of Mary's Magnificat (so this could also go in the Advent section, or "Evening," because this song got associated with evening prayer way back in the day, liturgically speaking). The listed tune name is "Gospel Magnificat," which makes you think it's supposed to be contemporary/guitar-friendly. However, in poking around the index, it seems to be given as just "Magnificat" there. Also, in poking around the index, I noticed that the "topical index" lists some songs which aren't really hymns, they're just part of the "liturgy"/"service music" section there. So if you look up "Praise/Thanksgiving," in addition to "this entire enormous section," it lists an arrangement of the Magnificat that's literally just a round (canon) version of one line in Latin. It's probably good that it's not in the "real" hymn section because I'd probably have even less to say about it than this one. I'm not sure if there are any others like this. Just weird stuff you notice when you're poking around in the index trying to find something new to say now that we're almost done.
