Nunc Dimittis - George Dyson

 

Sung by the boys of Lichfield Cathedral

I've posted the Magnificat from the same Service in c minor a number of times but never the following canticle.   

Here's another setting of the text in Latin by Paul Smith, sung by his group VOCES8.  It puts a slant to the canticle I'd never considered while reading it.  It reminds me of some of Schubert's heavier music for male quartet.
