Edition notes: This is a reconstruction (in red) of the fragmentary piece found in the Eton Choirbook which is lacking the Treble and Tenor parts. As with all 10 reconstructions I have made of the fragmentary pieces in Eton the ranges of each voice, and the overall tessitura, are as stated in the manuscript. The text is the antiphon to Magnificat at first vespers on the feast of the assumption of the blessed virgin Mary. You have permission to copy, print, and perform this work so long as the attribution (Russell Blacker) and the copyright permission (Stainer & Bell) is retained. You do not have permission to alter the reconstructed parts (in red).

Original text and translations

Latin text

In qua gloriosa et felix mirantibus
Caelesti curiae ordinibus
Ad aetherium pervebit thalamum
Quo pia sui memorum
Immemor nequaqaum exsistat.
