Differences between CPDL #10839 and commercial edition

This edition by Denis Mason ([MAS]) has been compared with the edition published by Bärenreiter, BA 4653a ([BÄR]). The comparison is limited to the choral parts, and it does not include the elongated version of the “Gloria” by M. Haydn, as it is not present in the edition published by Bärenreiter. The training aids available at Choralia have been corrected according to [BÄR].


All items - lyrics

[MAS] contains many differences with respect to [BÄR] concerning lyrics, especially about the division of words into syllables. According to the rules of the Latin language, they can be classified as errors. In most cases there is no significant effect when singing, so only one case, where words are actually different, is mentioned hereafter.


Kyrie

Bass, bar 15 – 16: in [BÄR] the syllable “e-“ at the end of bar 15 that is present in [MAS] does not exist in [BÄR] (only the syllable “son” is present), and the syllables “lei-“ and “son” at the beginning of bar 16 in [MAS] are replaced by “Chri-“ and “ste”, respectively, in [BÄR].


Credo

Soprano and alto, bar 31: the duration of the notes is equal to the whole 3/4 measure in [MAS], while it is 1/2 in [BÄR], followed by a quarter rest. Tenor has a 1/2 note both in [BÄR] and in [MAS], so [BÄR] appears more consistent.


Sanctus

Soprano, bar 21: the first note is A in [BÄR], while it is C in [MAS]. [BÄR] seems more consistent if the accompaniment and the similarity with the other parts in [MAS] are taken into account.
