Rosephanye Powell released a gripping arrangement for mixed voices in 2004 that has enjoyed steady use. This SSAA arrangement remains true to the unique qualities of the previous voicing - heart-wrenching harmonies and soulful blue notes that mourn gracefully. The inclusion of the two brief West African texts adds years of history and depth to this somber Spiritual. The surprising Picardy ending provides a pleasant reassurance. Medium difficulty.

The Magnificat was written in 1982 in response to a commission from Christ Church College, Oxford, whose choir first performed it under their conductor Francis Grier in July of that year. At that time the composer was influenced by his belated discovery of African music. During a period of research in Senegal and The Gambia he recorded a working-song in a small village called Badem Karantaba, about thirty miles south-east of Ziguinchor in the Casamance region of southern Senegal. Swayne used the opening call of this song to begin the Magnificat; it returns as a refrain towards the end.
