Rights and use

Johann Sebastian Bach died in 1750, so the composition is in the public domain in the US and in the countries that protect a work for its author’s life plus 70 years. The edition this recording plays (PDMX) is released under CC0, so the notes carry no conditions either. Open it in Score Studio to time it to your video: the render you make there is yours to use, in an ad too (Terms §6.3).

About the piece

Bach wrote his Magnificat in E-flat for his first Christmas in Leipzig, in 1723, with four Christmas songs woven in; ten years later he revised it in D major without them.
