I found this setting very impressive. Benjamin Nicholas suggests that these canticles are, in some ways, a homage to Herbert Howells. In the Magnificat that's particularly apparent in, the long, melismatic opening for trebles alone, accompanied by a light, bubbling organ part. Later there's an enviable tenor line at "He hath filled the hungry" and a gentle radiance in the music at "He remembering his mercy". The exciting doxology is underpinned by a toccata-like organ accompaniment and the setting rises to a majestic "as it was in the beginning" of which Howells himself would have approved. The Nunc Dimittis is prayerful, beginning with tenors and basses only. The whole choir joins in at "To be a light" with some luminous harmonies that evoke Howells. The music for the doxology differs from that of the Magnificat. Here Jackson provides a more flowing passage that suits the canticle ideally. This is a fine set of canticles, which I hope will be taken up widely
