Remarks on CPDL #14876

My guess is that a comma rather than a full stop is needed between the last two lines (before 'sorwe'). In the first half dozen bars the barring is also at odds with the stress of the words: this could be remedied by making the first bar a complete 4/4 bar and changing the time signature to 3/4 for one bar after this passage. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mick Swithinbank (talkcontribs) on 08:24, 20 May 2010.


I would put it in 4/4 throughout. I haven't looked at the facsimile, but I've heard a lot of performances by respected early-music scholars, and I've never heard one with that quarter rest in the middle. There are a number of other rhythmic oddities in this transcription too.Sbloch 19:40, 21 February 2011 (CST)
