- Editor: William Evans (submitted 2021-11-27). Score information: A4, 44 pages, 1.59 MB Copyright: CPDL
- Edition notes: Performance edition by William Evans, 2021. Transcribed from a digitized manuscript c.1794-1807 in the Bibliothèque nationale de France: Durante, Francesco (1684-1755), Messa a 4o Voci alla Palestrina, Del Sign.r Francesco Durante. My thanks to gallica.bnf.fr for providing this resource online. Original key and note values. Tempo markings and courtesy accidentals in brackets are editorial. Interestingly, the descending theme of the polyphony used at the beginning of the Christe and again throughout the mass is reminiscent of By the waters of Babylon by Philip Hayes (1738-1797).
