(Posted 2021-07-27) CPDL #65290:

Editor: Mike Wallen (submitted 2021-07-27). Score information: Letter, 23 pages, 529 kB Copyright: CPDL

Edition notes: choir voices use C-clefs. In some cases I have separated the divisi into two staves, hoping to make it easier for singers.

-{{Descr|This work, as published by Arnold, is a complex piece in its voice distribution. In his table of contents, Arnold shows verse voices for Treble, Countertenor, Tenor and Bass for both sides (Decani and Cantoris) for a total of 8 voices. Then for the full sections he writes it in 4 staves (Treble, Countertenor, Tenor and Bass) but has divisi often in the Treble and sometimes also in other voices.}}
