Farris Chorale presents "The Magnificat Messe De Minuit" by J.S. Bach and Charpentier, arranged by Forbes.

The book lies on top of a red book or folder with only "The Renaud..." discernible on the spine. The photograph also shows that the book is part of a collection as there are similar items and pages visible on the top and right side of the image.
