CPDL #13238:   Sibelius 2

Editor: Jonathan Goodliffe (added 2006-12-11).   Score information: A4, 6 pages, 79 kbytes   Copyright: CPDL

Edition notes: Spanish spelling and accentuation modernised, apart from "comprehender" which seems to have been 4 syllables in the early 18th Century. Punctuation added. Bar 9, voice, fourth and fifth notes changed from quavers (eight notes) to semi-quavers to fit all notes into the bar. Bar 15, first violin part, third note (C) sharpened. Bar 17, in voice part 18th Century Spanish notation convention reads third C as natural, but probably intended to be sharp. Value of first 4 notes in bar 20 voice part illegible in the facsimile, so guessed at. Fermatas at bar 25 suggest Da Capo al segno to that point. Bar 44 continuo, first note (D) rendered natural. Final bar, second violin part, pitch of first 2 notes illegible so guessed at.

Description: From "Mapa Armonico Practico" facsimile manuscript including this score published by Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas. Manuscript unclear at various points owing to poor facsimile reproduction. Score included by composer to illustrate the "metabolic" style. Reference to "Egyptians" in the lyrics suggest this may have been an aria for Mark Anthony.
