Edition notes: Original key for ATTBarB. Warning - there is a typo in bar 24 - the ossia in the superius part should be prefaced with a G2 clef, not C1, as written. I'm hoping to change this when I'm a little more fluent in CPDL uploading - in the meantime please accept my apologies!

Original text and translations

Latin text Sive vigilem, sive dormiam, sive edam aut bibam, semper videor mihi audire sonum tubae et voce angeli clamantis et dicentis: Surgite mortui, et venite ad iudicium. Vigilemus et oremus, quia nescimus diem neque horam quando Dominus veniet.

English translation Whether I keep watch or sleep, whether I eat or drink, always I seem to hear the sound of the trumpet and the voice of an angel calling out and saying: Rise up, ye dead, and come to the judgement. Let us watch and pray, for we do not know the day nor the hour when the Lord will come.
