- Edition notes: Transposed up a whole step; note values halved in proportio tripla sections; editorial accidentals and slurs added. Praetorius included several versions of the text, suitable for Eastertide, Ascensiontide, Pentecost, and general use. I have used the Easter text; other versions are available upon request.
