- Edition notes:
- The original manuscript was notated in chiavette, or "high clefs". The untransposed version posted here may work well for a women's ensemble, provided you have tenors capable of singing the C below middle C, or can employ a continuo instrument to cover the bottom line.
- Current scholarly consensus requires that such music be performed at a downward transposition of a perfect fourth relative to notated pitch, assuming an A=440Hz standard. The version provided for mixed choirs meets this criterion.
- The setting for male choir is as performed by the Tallis Scholars, and is transposed down a sixth.
MP3 Note: Linked mp3 is the Editor's own "one-man choir" performance (all rights reserved). After digital recording with an ordinary PC microphone, 18 solo vocal tracks were downmixed and reverberated to create the file. The Editor is already well aware he is no countertenor... :-)

Original text and translations
Latin text
Hodie completi sunt dies Pentecostes, alleluia:
hodie Spiritus Sanctus in igne discipulis apparuit,
et tribuit eis charismatum dona:
misit eos in universum mundum prædicare, et testificari:
Qui crediderit et baptizatus fuerit, salvus erit, alleluia.
English translation
On this day are fulfilled the days of Pentecost, alleluia:
This day the Holy Spirit appeared as fire to the Disciples,
and bestowed upon them his manifold graces:
He hath sent them into all the world to preach the Gospel,
and to testify thus: whosoever believeth and is baptized shall be saved, alleluia.
