- Editor: Pothárn Imre (submitted 2023-02-08). Score information: A4, 9 pages, 188 kB Copyright: CPDL
- Edition notes: Transcribed from 1581 print. This print and also the 1583 print has the same error in Secunda pars bar 11 (a consecutive second interval). Since otherwise the musical material of bars 10-14 is identical with that of bars 5-9, and except for an additional fourth voice the other three voices are also identical with bars 1-5, I have only changed the Tenor (cancelled a minim rest in bar 10, and made the C in bar 11 a semibreve instead of a minim). The dissonance D-C between the Tenor and Quintus has been left untouched in bar 11, because we have the same dissonance between Cantus and Sextus in bar 7. So I have only corrected the Tenor voice, in contrast to the other editions which also changed the Quintus in order to eliminate the D-C dissonance in bar 11.
