Editor: Pothárn Imre (submitted 2020-03-24).   Score information: A4, 8 pages, 159 kB   Copyright: CPDL

Edition notes: Transcribed from 1552 Gardano edition. Original key (chiavi naturali) and note values. This edition shows two differences from the recording of the ensemble Blue Heron who claim to have used the original 1542 edition, which we unfortunately have no access to. These are in the Seconda parte in the Quinto voice, in bar 20 Gardano has an explicit sharp sign before the G, and also in bar 28, where the Quinto sings almost the same melody the Canto had sung before, the Canto has no sharp sign, but the Quinto has.
