Magnificat (Orlando di Lasso)

Lassus' Magnificats number about 100 and indeed were printed posthumously as Iubilus beatæ virginis, hoc est centum Magnificat (Munich 1619). Almost all (the exceptions are the through-composed No's 35, 64, 65 & 102) are alternatim settings of the even verses.

The sortable list below is ordered after the SWnR, with Bötticher's 195? catalogue numbers and the numbering of the 1619 print.
