Talk:Ave verum corpus (William Byrd)

CPDL #12762

Repeats errors from an earlier edition of mine, since revised. (Edition seems to be an exact copy of mine - not that I have any objection whatever to that.) --DaveF 23:28, 4 October 2006

Our apologies

Credit to David Fraser appears below copyright line but hidden by the PDF margin! Our apologies to David Fraser whose edition was the original source of ours. Edited simply to put altos into their familiar clef when revoiced SATB. --FelixMendeldog 01:52, 5 October 2006

Update: New PDF shows credit: David Fraser. --FelixMendeldog 05:19, 5 October 2006

DF replies

No apologies necessary - the more Ave Verums the better! The errors to which I refer above are not in the notes, but (1) I had the key-signatures wrong in the prefatory bars (reproduced from memory in the days before I had my own facsimiles after looking them up in my local University library) (2) there is a small difference of underlay first and second times in the repeated section, which is printed in extenso in the original publication and in my new edition. If you were to get the correct key-signatures from my new edition (I wouldn't worry about the small underlay 'error'), you'd have the 'perfect' edition - which would complement my new one nicely, since I've revoiced that as ATTB to preserve consistency with the rest of Byrd's Corpus Christi music.

Small difference

There is actually a small difference between #08508 (Dave Fraser) and #12762 (Dan Foster) in the Bass part, bar 37: the last two notes in the bar have the same duration (minim) in #12762, while they are a dotted minim and a crotchet in #08508. --Choralia 15:41, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

The dotted minim and crotchet of CPDL#08508 (Fraser's edition) is in agreement with the Gradualia source. -- Chuck_talk Giffen_♫ 19:07, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
