PLEASE NOTE THAT: some of those errors I reported are only mistakes that must be corrected (and I put them in bold); others could have just been taken from particular editions of the Requiem that rearranged a little the lyrics. In my opinion CPDL, for phylological (and eventually copyright, if those editions are recent) reasons should have the Requiem lyrics as Mozart wrote them in the manuscript.

But probably the best choice is to just file the "corrected" Kyrie - introitus (and eventually the Confutatis) as a new version.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT: I could (and would like to) take care of this new version (and do the "not bolded" modifications) if someone could convert Encore files to one of the following formats: Lilypond, MusicXML, Finale, and send them to me: toobaz [at] email [dot] it.

PLEASE FINALLY NOTE THAT: there is another error in Kyrie, measure 70: a bemol is missing on altos' last note (an E). However, I already wrote to Paco Marmol describing this particular error, and maybe he'll already have corrected it when you read this.

Kyrie - introitus

  • In measure 12, altos should say "mi-ne-do-na-e-e", instead it is written "mi-ne-do-na-do-na". Note that the A should have "legato" with the one in measure 13.
  • In measure 35, altos should say "do-o-o-o-na-a-a-a", instead it is written "do-o-o-o-o-o-na-a".
  • Same applies for sopranos in measure 36.
  • In measure 56, tenors should start "i" one eight before than it is written (it should last 2 eights, not 1).
  • Same applies for sopranos in measure 59.
  • Same applies for sopranos in measure 82.
  • Same applies for bassos in measure 83.
  • Same applies for tenors in measure 83.
  • Same applies for altos in measure 85.
  • Same applies for sopranos in measure 86.
  • In measure 75 (last note) and in the first 3 eights of 76, bassos should keep singing "e", not repeat "i-son-e-le".
  • In measure 65, altos should start the "Ky" one eight after (and note should durate 2 instead of 3 eights).

Rex tremendæ

  • In measure 13, second eight, piano's left hand has a "A-G" chord: instead it should be "G-G" (an octave).
  • In measure 18, fourth eight, piano's left hand: the natural sign on E is OK, but there should also be a sharp on C.

Confutatis

  • In measure 5, the tenors' 4th note (a D) should have a sharp.
  • In measure 37, the basses have 2 notes instead of 4
  • In measures 36 and 37, bassos should repeat "gere curam mei", not just "curam mei".
