| Description: |
Copied into the Eton choirbook by about 1504, this Magnificat is one of Fayrfax’s earlier works, considerably more ornate than much of his music but already showing the fondness for motivically generated melody and imitative writing that we associate with him. The title Regali probably refers to some fleeting similarities between the music of the Magnificat and that of his mass Regali ex progenie and his fragmentary votive antiphon Gaude flore virginali, but the Magnificat does not use the same cantus firmus. For five voices: SATT/BarB. ISMN 979-0-57039-219-3
