Edition notes: Transposed up a tone. This is one of the composer's finest and most jubilant works. Bar 70, Cantus 1: the second note should be an A. Bar 124, Bassus 1: the second note should be a C. On the first beat of bar 136, A1 and B2's notes should probably be editorially lowered by a semitone. Bar 139: B1's first note should be a D, a fourth lower.

Original text and translations

Latin text

Salva nos Christe Salvator,
per virtutem sanctae crucis.
Qui salvasti Petrum in mari, miserere nobis,
quia per sanguinem tuum redemisti mundum,
alleluya.

Dulce lignum dulces clavos
dulcia ferens pondera, udulce praesenti catervae
in tuis hodie laudibus congregataea,
alleluya.
