Novus Magnificat, a gorgeously other-world opus from classically trained pianist Constance Demby has become a true classic in New Age music, appealing to a wide variety of listeners, many of whom are ordinarily put off by the genre. Rooted in worship music of Western tradition, Demby's majestic improvisational vision produces what the 1986 disc liner calls "Contemporary classical Spacemusic: A Magnificat and Exaltate". Incorporating the central voice of synthesizer with a string and horn section, piano, organ, bells, and tympani, a choral voice joins with instrumental passages, setting a blissfully reverent tone throughout this two-part melodious marvel. Master composers Bach and Vivaldi come to mind in hearing the keyed chord progressions and swirling strings respectively, making Novus Magnificat a keenly majestic score for use during massage, labour and birth, meditation, worship, or relaxation. --Paige La Grone
