Abstract

In this article, the author examines the arrangements of the Magnificat canticle of selected Lutheran composers of the 17thand the first half of the 18th century, focusing on the works to the German text as well as on the organ compositions. In the introductory part, the author briefly presents the characteristics of the use of the Magnificat with the German text in the Protestant liturgy and its distinctive features compared to the Magnificat with the Latin text. Then, the compositions to the German text by M. Praetorius and H. Schütz are analyzed. In the next step, the author presents the Magnificat works for organ, focusing first on the history of their development, and then giving examples of compositions by D. Buxtehude and J. Pachelbel. The final conclusions emphasise, on the one hand, the relationship in the field of musical rhetoric between the studied compositions and compositions to the Latin texts, and, on the other, their convergence with Martin Luther's theological views on the Virgin Mary.
