“En un temps lent, el Magnificat, Op.79, d’Andrew Schultz, expressa amb línies vocals molt suaus aquelles estones d’inquietud que aquella dona jove, després de rebre la visita de l’àngel, deuria sentir pregonament. La música evoluciona completament equilibrada malgrat la tensió prèvia al moment que les veus s’acabaran esvaint en un silenci enigmàtic.Schultz escriu a la capçalera de la seva partitura una frase commovedora de l’escriptora americana Emily Bronte: «No coward soul is mine».”

“In a slow tempo, the Magnificat, op. 79, by Andrew Schultz, expresses with extremely soft vocal lines those moments of unease that the young woman, after receiving the visit of the Angel, must feel deeply. The music evolves in a completely balanced way despite the earlier uncertainty at the time that the voices were fading in from an enigmatic silence. Schultz writes in the header of the score, a poignant phrase of the American writer Emily Bronte: ‘No coward soul is mine.’” [Marçal Borotau, “Suplement de discos,” Sonograma Magazine, 29 March 2014]

“Schultz has entered the mind of the virgin, imagining her changing emotions, even a touch of trepidation, ending in a restrained shout of triumph that she of all women has been chosen for this mystical honour. His Magnificat is a beautiful piece, beautifully sung. It would sit well beside the Bach setting in live performance.” [Elizabeth Silsbury, “Foundations,” The Music Trust, 1 February 2016.]
