From score: "MAGNIFICAT AND NUNC DIMITTIS (NORWICH SERVICE) was first performed by the choir of Norwich Cathedral, directed by Michael Nicholas, on June 13th, 1993"

Divisi in all voice parts is pervasive throughout the work. There is a S/B duet in the Magnificat and the Nunc Dimittis begins with an extended alto solo.
