Credo omitted, note values halved; tempo markings, musica ficta and rests at phrase endings are editorial. Only one iteration of the Agnus Dei was originally published; for liturgical purposes a suitable plainchant from Graduale Romanum, Ordinarium Missae (Kyriale) - XI. In Dominicis infra annum (Orbis Factor) is included and the words of dona nobis pacem are used for the polyphony.
