Kim Andre Arnesen (b. 1980)

I. Magnificat anima mea My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.

Luke 1:46–48 II. Ecce enim For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed.

Luke 1:48 III. Quia fecit For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

As he spoke to our fathers.

Luke 1:49 IV. Et misericordia And his mercy is for those who fear him.

Luke 1:50 V. Fecit potentiam He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate.

Luke 1:51–52

VI. Suscepit Israel He has helped his servant Israel, In remembrance of his mercy.

Luke 1:54 VII. Gloria Patri Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, World without end.

UVU DEEP GREEN Dr. Reed Criddle, conductor Mis on inimene?

What is human?

The shadow of an angel?

Or a cry of yearning towards a union of souls?

Each of us a pipe For God’s wind to whistle: Take care, then you are cared for.
