Edition notes: The the notes' values, the accidentals and the colourings are as in the manuscript. The text underlay within brackets is editorial. The other parts of the proper can be found in the Anonymous page. The notes' values within the 'ligaturæ' are as follows: the left upstemmed notes are semibreves - the unstemmed notes are breves - the right downstemmed note is a longa. The 'musica ficta' suggestions are in the MIDI and the MusicXML files. The source (MusicXML) file is zipped.
Error.gif Possible error(s) identified. Error summary: Errors noted by Mick Swithinbank: In the word 'vide' at the end of the first system, in the top voice, the semibreve B flat followed by a minim A should be reduced to a dotted minim and a crotchet, as otherwise the note values do not correspond to those in the other parts. In the bass part in the last system of page 3, the minim D followed by semibreve E flat should probably be a semibreve D followed by a minim E flat.

Audi filia et vide et inclina aurem tuam
quia concupivit rex speciem tuam

Vultum tuum deprecabuntur omnes divites plebis
filiæ regum in honore tuo
