In this Trinity Service (2021) I used the text of the Magnificat as if it were the storyboard of a film. I tried to describe in the utmost detail the emotion the words conveyed to me and the images they suggested. In this composition I have used word-painting, attempting to colour as many words, phrases and situations as possible; hence the score is full of expression markings such as ‘majestic’, ‘with vigour’, ‘lively’, ‘intense’, ‘with affection’ and ‘with verve’. The result is a piece that changes texture rather quickly, and its noble opening theme (‘My soul doth magnify the Lord’) returns only once in abbreviated form (‘He hath filled the hungry with good things’). The following Nunc dimittis has a much more meditative and intimate character with a sparser texture. There are some references to the themes presented in the Magnificat. A motif from the Magnificat, ‘Glory be to the Father, and to the Son’, recurs in almost the same form towards the close of the Nunc dimittis, but in a quieter vein and in 4 rather than the 43 of the Magnificat. 
The Magnificat and the Nunc dimittis may be performed individually.

These Psalm settings from the year 1607, combine Gastoldi's madrigal-like harmonic clarity and rhythmic verve with a chant-like melodic style and chordally chanted falso bordone passages. They will be of interest to above average high school choirs and college groups. The pieces will offer an attractive, more accessible, alternative to the Monteverdi Vespers published three years later (1610).
