The Magnificat Baroque Ensemble, or Magnificat, is an early music ensemble of voices and instruments specializing in the Baroque music of the 17th century under the artistic direction of Baroque cellist Warren Stewart.

 Harvey resigned in 2000, and the group has remained under the sole musical direction of Stewart since then.
 The group derives its name from the first word of the Latin translation of the Canticle of Mary in the Gospel of Luke ( ), "Magnificat anima mea", "My soul magnifies the Lord", which is sung during the Roman Catholic evening prayer or vespers service.
