Original text and translations

The bass's 2nd 'et omnia' clearly requires E flat rather than E natural. I find it intringuing that the two upper voices are often so far removed in pitch from the two lower ones, and suspect that the harmonies would work better if the soprano and alto lines were taken down an octave, making this virtually a male-voice work.
