Question: m19 alto should not be sharped? Answer: The F# is correct. The phrase in m18 differs from the previous cadence on soprano melody m9-10 cadences on Dm because m9 remains minor and is not moving harmonically. The cadence in this instance (m18-19) follows the alteration of the harmonic sequence, esp. tenor m18, with a cadence on D major, followed immediately by a return to d minor to begin the next phrase. The harmonic variation is supported by the text and obvious word painting. Paul M Marchesa 21:14, 25 November 2011 (CST)

Question: The tenor in bar 1 is 1/8th longer than the other voices. How to resolve this? What does the original say? I'm tempted to shorten 'ma' to 1/8th. Rp (talk) 19:30, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
