Editor: Mick Swithinbank (submitted 2025-11-11).   Score information: A4, 9 pages, 76 kB   Copyright: CPDL

Edition notes: This edition is an arrangement for five-part choir a cappella. Two afterthoughts: bar 49, Alto: the first note of terra was intended to be an E natural. Bars 38-40, Soprano: a better underlay would be a melisma on the first syllable of flores, with the second syllable placed on the last available note.

Edition notes: The continuo bassline is unfigured, but easy to realise. The piece ends so abruptly that it might be an option to halve the tempo throughout the last bar. The underlay in bars 38-40 could be improved as noted above for the a cappella version.
