Because the pitch at Hassler's time was a semitone probably a whole tone higher than the modern pitch (a' = 440 Hz), the mass should be sung a cappella a whole tone higher. This edition is above all for an accompaniment with e. g. historic brass instruments (cornett for the Cantus, trombones for Altus, Tenor and Bassus). An edition down a third appears simultaneously to this edition (CPDL #26683). – Last corrections: 2012-08-17. | | | | 53585 | Missa Octava (Hans Leo Hassler) | Missa Octava | Hans Leo Hassler | | 2023-09-16 08:41:12 |
