Edition notes: From the 16th-century Eton Choirbook manuscript, published as vol. 12 of Musica Britannica, ed. Frank Ll. Harrison, Stainer & Bell Ltd., London, 1961. The notation in the present edition is a tone higher than the original, with time values halved in bars 1-308, where the original time signature in most parts is cut C, but retained in the final section, where most parts have cut circle. The original key is one flat for the bass, one flat for most of the tenor and no flats for the other parts. We have chosen to show the tenor with the same key signature throughout. Thus some tenor accidentals in front of the notes are not really present in the source, but merely reflect the absense of the key signature flat; and we have omitted source accidentals that duplicate the key here. We have emended bars 75-76 in the tenor, adding the dotted half and shortening the two previous notes; and bars 130-131 in the first soprano, tying the note over the barline. We have provided the translation and modified the text underlay and musica ficta. John Hetland and The Renaissance Street Singers. 5/20/99
