Magnificat III, Opus 18, No. 12 Click to Listen, [1:31]
The registration called for in the score includes "Cornets, Nazards, Tierces et Septiemes"--mutations sounding thirds, fifths and sevenths. On this organ only the Nasard is available, but the chromatic ingenuity, not to say general jazziness, of the figuration provides plenty of color on its own. Uses the extended set. Instrument: A. Cavaillé-Coll Organ, originally Paris, France, moved to Mainz, Germany (1877) - Samples by Prof. Helmut Maier

Chorale Text
And his mercy is on them that
fear him throughout all generations.
He hath shewed strength with his
arms; he hath scattered the proud in
the imagination of their hearts.
