The Magnificat (Kearney) AOV 1/52

I like the idea of Mary singing a folk song. It sounds much more likely than the more magnificent settings, as it is a protest song after all.

Peter Kearney has been writing songs forever, or at least since 1966 (The Beatitudes).  I was astonished to see him large as life at the AOV conference a year ago, when he claimed he must have been a child prodigy.  You can hear a nice simple guitar and vocal version of this song here.

Peter has put the text up here. You can also visit his website.
