Editor: Denis Mason (submitted 2001-10-22).   Score information: A4, 7 pages, 132 kB   Copyright: Personal

Edition notes: arranged a fourth lower for men's voices, AATBB. Sibelius file is unzipped, A4 page format.

Possible error(s) identified. Error summary: comment from Ultimarko: p. 1 bar 3 baritone voice – should be 8th rest not quarter; the entering "Chri-" should be a syncopated quarter. Consider using a slightly faster duple tempo, and dotted quarter from the first equaling quarter in the duple.
