The Magnificat, a musical representation of the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary, marks the beginning of Advent with unique expressiveness. Georg Philipp Telemann, a prominent composer of the late Baroque period, immortalised this tradition by composing the Magnificat in C major. Similarly, Johann Sebastian Bach's motets reveal excellence in sacred choral polyphony, emphasising the profound meaning of liturgical texts. Instrumental music, in turn, pays tribute to Christmas, exemplified by Pietro Antonio Locatelli's Concerto grosso in F minor, whose introspective expressiveness dialogues with Baroque chiaroscuro.
