- Edition notes: The original order of parts is Tenor - Alto - Air - [Bass]: the alto part is printed in the treble clef an octave above sounding pitch in the source. Only the first verse of the text is given in the source: three subsequent verses selected from the text have been added editorially. With the exception of the soprano part in bar 16, slurring is absent from the source for this piece, and has been added editorially based on the beaming of note groups in the source.
