• (Posted 2017-12-25)  CPDL #48180:     

Editor: Simon Biazeck (submitted 2017-12-25).   Score information: A4, 13 pages, 157 kB   Copyright: CPDL

Edition notes: On the matter of tempo and proportional interpretation of the triple and duple sections, performers should consider adopting early 17th c. Venetian practice: dotted semibreve = minim. This necessitates a fast triple time at Hodie - perhaps uncustomarily so for modern performers - but makes more sense of the Laetantur and Exsultant sections. It also allows a constant pulse to be maintained throughout and a smooth transition from triple to duple time; vital for singers who read from single parts.

• CPDL #03065:       

Editor: Denis Mason (submitted 2001-10-22).   Score information: A4, 7 pages, 132 kB   Copyright: Personal

Edition notes: arranged a fourth lower for men's voices, AATBB. Sibelius file is unzipped, A4 page format.

Possible error(s) identified. Error summary: comment from Ultimarko: p. 1 bar 3 baritone voice – should be 8th rest not quarter; the entering "Chri-" should be a syncopated quarter. Consider using a slightly faster duple tempo, and dotted quarter from the first equaling quarter in the duple.
