Rubric: “This fantasia recalls a Magnificat by Morales, which is the first verse and the third”.

Parody fantasia, based on the 1st and 3rd verses of a Magnificat by Morales that survives in E-Vc Ms 5, and incomplete in E-Tc18, fols 38˅-39. Valderrábano borrows heavily from the v.1 Anima mea and only in passing from v.3 Quia Respexit: (see table below).

The Magnificat verses used in this piece were identified and analysed by Griffiths (griffiths1983, 273-275) from the incomplete Magnificat in E-Tc, Cristina Diego Pacheco found a complete version of this Magnificat in E-Vc Ms 5 and transcribed it in her dissertation (diego2005) as Magnificat 5. She recognised the relationship with Valderrábano’s work, but did not see the clarity of the relationship between the model and fantasia (diego2005, vol. 2, pp. 353-354). She asserts “L’imagination créative de Valderrábano fait en sorte que la Magnificat soit reconnaissable mais non pas comparable au modèle vocale. En effet, les différences d’écriture entre les deux oeuvres sont telles qu’il faudrait parler des deux versions distinctes, et ce n’est point un hasard si Valderrábano intitule son oeuvre ‘fantasia’”. (Valderrábano's creative imagination makes the Magnificat recognisable but not comparable to the vocal model. In effect, the differences in writing between the two works are such that one would have to call them two distinct versions, and it is no coincidence that Valderrábano calls his work 'fantasia'. Kreitner subsequently identified the same work (kreitner2007) and gives the complete surviving version of this Magnificat as “Magnificat beta”, with a transcription from E-Vc, Ms 5.
