Like the American Civil Rights Movement, the early Jesus Movement produced songs.  Luke incorporates them in his Gospel: songs are sung by Mary, the Angels, Zechariah and Hannah.  Mary's song, the Magnificat, is a pastiche of lines and echoes of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) structured according to Hannah's song - the mother of Samuel, which is found in Hanna's Song, 1 Samuel 2:1-10.  Together they look at the stories in the Hebrew Bible, but they do so through the lens of Jesus' teaching.
