Description: “Introitus Dominica XVIII post Pentecosten” transcribed from the Trent manuscript tr92. The notes’ values and the accidentals are as in the manuscript. The Contra has been derived from the Superius following the Tenor’s prescription “faulx bourdon” (a fourth below). The time signature is missing in all the voices, the “tempus imperfectum diminutum” has been assumed from the context. The notes' values within the "ligaturæ" are semibreves. The “musica ficta” suggestions are in the MIDI and the MusicXML files.

Latin text

Da pacem, Domine, sustinentibus te
ut prophetæ tui fideles inveniantur:
exaudi preces servi tui
et plebis tuæ Israël.

Lætatus sum in his,
quæ dicta sunt mihi
in domum Domini ibimus.

Gloria Patri et Filio
et Spiritui Sancto,
sicut erat in principio
et nunc et semper
et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
