La meva anima magnifica al Senyor is an adaptation, made especially for Flotilla,
of an earlier vocal setting of the Magnificat text in Catalan.
In this version, the work presents a solo soprano saxophone over a simple synthsizer drone, rather
like plainsong; the solo part is purposely set in the plangent low register of the soprano
saxophone - the other two saxophones join in to enrich the melody, sometimes in unison, at other
moments slightly out of phase.
The overall effect is one of timelessness, of reaching back in time to ancient Mediterranean music.
