CPDL #26681:   Finale 2011 

Editor: Kurt Pages (submitted 2012-07-04).   Score information: A4, 43 pages, 503 kB   Copyright: Personal

Edition notes: Transposed down a fourth according to rules of chiavette transposition. Because the pitch at Hassler's time was a semitone (a'=465 Hz) probably a whole tone (a'=493 Hz) higher than the modern pitch, the mass should be sung a cappella a whole tone higher. This edition is above all for an accompaniment with e. g. historic brass instruments (cornett for the Cantus, trombones for Altus, Tenor and Bassus). An edition down a third appears simultaneously to this edition (CPDL #26683). – Last corrections: 2012-07-15.
