Magnificat Chanted In Aramaic


Magnificat Hymn in Neo Chaldean - Aramaic language,
by Fr. Noel Farman
Pastor of Sainte-Famille French Catholic Church 

By now you can guess that I'm intending to post a number of different settings of the Magnificat during Advent, among the most radical of documents, one of the bases on which liberation theology rests.  

It's been really interesting listening to lots and lots of settings, most of which I've never heard before (I never knew Mozart wrote one) and in languages I don't understand.  I will be posting many that I like and some I'm more luke warm on.  I'd originally intended to post one a day but I think some days I'll post two of contrasting character.
