CPDL #29229:    MusicXML 

Editor: Renato Calcaterra (submitted 2013-05-24).   Score information: A4, 10 pages, 215 kB   Copyright: CPDL

Edition notes: Transcribed from the Royal Danish Library manuscript KB 1872. The notes' values, accidentals and colourings are as in the manuscript. The text underlay within brackets is editorial. As the manuscript was intended for the use of the Royal Danish Band, the voices without text should be played on loud wind instruments. The notes' values within the "ligaturæ" are as follows: the left upstemmed notes are semibreves - the unstemmed notes are breves – the right downstemmed notes are longæ. The “musica ficta” suggestions are in the MIDI and MusicXML files. The source (MusicXML) file is zipped.
