Description: Alternatim setting transcribed from the Trent manuscript tr87. The keys and the notes' values are as in the manuscript. The initial time signature is missing in both the voices, the tempus perfectum has been assumed from the context, and the perfect notes are dotted. To perform this Magnificat following the Tenor prescription “Faulx bourdon”, the Superius has been transposed an octave higher. The notes' values within the ligaturæ are as follows: the left upstemmed notes are semibreves - the unstemmed notes are breves. The musica ficta suggestions are in the MIDI and MusicXML files.
