Magnificat in D - Reginald Tustin Baker | Musical Highlights from the Saint Thomas Choir

This week's musical highlight is the Magnificat in D from our recent Bicentennial Evensong Service on Sunday, October 15.
It was written by little-known composer Tustin Baker (1900-1966), who spent his later years as Master of Music at Sheffield Cathedral in England, but who was the organist at Saint Luke's Episcopal Church San Francisco in the 1920s.
The Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys is considered to be the leading ensemble of its kind in the Anglican choral tradition in the United States. While its primary raison d’être is to sing five choral services each week, the choir also performs regularly with Orchestra of St. Luke’s and New York Baroque Incorporated as part of Saint Thomas Church concert series.
Live webcasts of choral services and further information concerning recordings, tours and concerts given by the choir can be found at www.SaintThomasChurch.org.
