www.ancientgroove.co.uk EDITORIAL NOTES
Source: Musica Deo Sacra (London: Godbid, 1668). Gloucester Cathedral, GB-GL MS 101: A Cantoris Bass part book, dated 1640.
Note values have been preserved and the music displayed at original pitch. Te original clefs are C1, C3, C3, C4, F4. Barring is found only in the Organ book, but it is irregular, that in the interests of clarity, regular barring has been applied. Small notes, accidentals in brackets and dashed slurs are editorial. Te Cantoris Contratenor part has been written out as a Tenor part.
MAGNIFICAT 8, Organ: source has minims: B D, rest. Changed to match Contratenor. 14, CT, Can: frst note is E in source, changed to D. 18: Contratenor parts have ‘handmaid, of his handmaiden’. Tis has been changed to “handmaiden, his handmaiden”. 32-33: Tenor underlay is ‘shall call, shall call me blessed’ in source. 44-5: Medius has ‘tho-rough-out’. Te underlay has been revised in keeping with the point in the other parts. 49, Tenor: source has sharp in front of the G, not on the F. 53, Tenor: Source has breve. 63-5: Source has ‘imaginations’. 69, Organ. 2nd beat: Source has G (top of stave). Changed to D. 84-90: Decani and Cantoris Contratenor parts have been swapped. 87: Bass and organ note shortened to add rest. 93, Medius Can: Last four notes have been halved in duration. 96: Organ part rhythm modifed to match Dec Medius. 99-110: Source has divided Tenors (rather than divided Contratenors) here. Te Contratenor line is found in the Secundus (Cantoris) part. 101: C’tenor Dec has ‘forefather” on three minims. Tenor has “fathers”. Other parts have “father”. 101: Medius part has crotchet E instead of quavers, which are found in the Organ part. 106: Organ note shortened to provide rest. 114, Bassus: minim rest missing in source. 127, Beat 2 onwards: Decani and Cantoris Contratenor parts have been swapped.
NUNC DIMITTIS 2OrganhasCnaturalinsource.ChangedtomatchMagnif catopening. 9CanBasshasBasf rstnoteinsource.ChangedtoD. 16: Chorus Contratenor parts swapped until bar 23, beat 4. 25: Bass 2nd note is F in source. Change to G, matching organ. 25-7 Bass part contains several errors (wrong notes, missing beats), and has been corrected from the organ line. 30-34: Decani Contratenor part moved to Cantoris Contratenor. 35, Dec Bass has crotchets. Dotted rhythm is as in the organ part. 38: Cantoris Contratenor part has crotchets for frst beat. Changed to dotted rhythm found in Organ. 36-39: Decani and Cantoris Contratenor parts have been swapped. 41: Dec Medius part has dotted minim crotchet for last two beats. Changed to match organ and imitative point. 62: First three beats of organ right hand inner voice seems to be three beats late. Moved to previous bar, doubling Dec Contratenor. 66-70: Contratenor Decani and Cantoris parts swapped.
