Falsely attributed to Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, this splendid setting of the Magnificat text is actually by Pergolesi's teacher Francesco Durante. Also existing in a five-part setting, the composer likely produced the four-part setting offered here earlier. This new vocal score is a digitally enhanced reissue of the one prepared by American musicologist Clayton Westermann in 1968. Now in a convenient size designed to fit into choral folders, measure numbers and a new afterword by Karel Torvik which explains the odd attribution to Pergolesi - which came about only in the 20th century due to a manuscript copied over a century after the work was composed.
