:Hi Mick,
:I flagged this error in the source at the time I edited it, and have since confirmed it should indeed be "barbitis". Of course, I had by then done all of the PDFs which are uploaded here. I'm planning to fix this at the same time I add the continuo figured bass. Until then the error can stand in the score - differentiating a "p" from a "b" is a difficult matter when there are so many instruments playing!

Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text Plaudite tympana,
clangite classica,
Fides accinite,
Voces applaudite,
Choro et jubilo,
Pastori maximo,
Applaude patria
Rupertum celebra.

Felix dies ter amœna,
Dies voluptatem plena,
Qua Rupertum celebramus,
Qua patronum honoramus,
Dies felicissima.

O læta gaude patria,
O læta plaude gens,
Ruperti super sidera
Triumphat alta mens,
In angelorum millibus
Beatorum plausibus
Triumphat alta mens.

Vive Salisburgum gaude,
magno patri ter applaude,
in tympanis et vocibus,
in barbitis et plausibus,
Rupertum celebra,
pastori jubila.

This site, as well as another which appears to be based in Croatia, quotes the Latin text, solving the mystery of the non-existent word 'parbitis', which should read 'barbitis', from 'barbitos', meaning lyre. This error is in the score too.

Hi Mick,
I flagged this error in the source at the time I edited it, and have since confirmed it should indeed be "barbitis". Of course, I had by then done all of the PDFs which are uploaded here. I'm planning to fix this at the same time I add the continuo figured bass. Until then the error can stand in the score - differentiating a "p" from a "b" is a difficult matter when there are so many instruments playing!
